Contents/Summary

Summary

"The Revolution Will Not be Televised is a powerful and dramatic film about the charismatic and controversial Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez. It charts the seven-months run-up to the dramatic attempt to overthrow him in April 2002 and provides an eye-witness account of the coup d'etat and the extraordinary return to power of Chavez some 48 hours later. Unique footage of Chavez, the new icon of the Left and thorn in the side of the US administration, is assembled in this electrifying documentary. This book outlines how a popular and prize-winning documentary fast became controversial and subject to extensive attack including a formal BBC enquiry. It describes the production and reception of a documentary that shocked an entire country, in the context of the contemporary global economy of the media. The book and DVD of the film illuminate contemporary politics in Latin America and raise key questions for documentary filmmaking and film studies."--Jacket.
