Chavez: Inside the Coup

[Coyotl]

Bush tried and failed!

2002 documentary about the April 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. A television crew from Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ happened to be recording a documentary about Chávez during the events of April 11, 2002. Shifting focus, they followed the events as they occurred. During their filming, the crew recorded images of the events that they say contradict explanations given by Chávez's opposition, the private media, the US State Department, and then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. The documentary says that the coup was the result of a conspiracy between various old guard and anti-Chávez factions within Venezuela and the United States.

5. The manipulation of the images of shooting Chavez supporters

by the private media: absolutely shocking. And then Ari Fleisher towing that line...

A great documentary, and from such a unique vantage point.

6. They really got outed on that one. In Venezuela, unlike DU, the people know the truth.

A minority on DU have a handle on the foreign affairs political reality, but too many have no clue about what the USA represents to the world.

Thank you so much for sharing this film.

I didn't know I could be so moved at this late stage of my life. I feel my apathy lightened, I feel the same fire I did when I was a young adult. I feel inspired. Thank you for this.

Bien hecho a los ciudadanos de Venezuela, de agradecimiento al presidente Chávez.
