Venezuelan Movies

I've added a few great movies on Venezuela to the sidebar on the right. Many of them deal with the U.S. supported coup attempt to overthrow President Hugo Chavez in 2002. This failed coup is perhaps the defining moment of recent Venezuelan history. It jolted the poor awake with a massive show of people power and it allowed and empowered Chavez to deepen the social revolution. Thus, if you want to understand Venezuela you must understand what happened in 2002. Unfortunately, the mainstream media does a failing job at conveying this, but watching a couple of these movies will go a long way into nullifying that.

Enjoy and please let me know what you think and any other videos you would recommend.
