Hugo Chavez was a colourful, unpredictable folk hero who was beloved by his nation’s working class. He was elected president of Venezuela in 1998, and proved to be a tough, quixotic opponent to the power structure that wanted to depose him. When he was forcibly removed from office on 11 April 2002, two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace.

What is La revolución no será televisada about? Toggle content

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is a gripping documentary that captures the turbulent events surrounding the 2002 coup d'état in Venezuela, led by President Hugo Chávez. With unprecedented access to the presidential palace, the filmmakers chronicle the day-to-day routine of Chávez, his rise to power, and his aspirations to redistribute the country's oil wealth. As tensions mount, the film exposes the relentless campaign against Chávez, fueled by the media, the wealthy elite, and foreign powers. On April 11, 2002, opposition protesters march towards the presidential palace, and shots ring out, leaving civilians dead. The private media blames Chávez's supporters, but the film reveals a different story. The state television signal is cut, rumors spread, and the military high command demands Chávez's resignation. He is led away and a transitional government is established, but Chávez's supporters refuse to accept the coup. Defying media censorship, they spread the truth and mobilize to retake the palace. On April 13, they gather outside Miraflores, palace guards plot to retake the building and, with the support of the army, they succeed. Chávez returns to power and delivers an address, emphasizing that it is fine to oppose him, but not the Constitution of Venezuela. The film concludes with Carmona fleeing to Miami and Ortega going into hiding, while most of the dissident generals flee tothe US. A powerful and thought-provoking account of political upheaval and popular resistance, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary Latin American history.
