Description:

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (a.k.a. Chavez: Inside the Coup) is a 2002 documentary about the April 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.

A television crew from Ireland's Radio Telifís Éireann 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 opposition, the private media, the US State Department, and then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer."

This part of the Wikipedia article is accurate. The rest you can take with half a bottle of salt. This was one of an endless series of CIA sponsored coups in South America, plain and simple. The truly interesting part about this documentary is that they were there, live, as it was happening.Â
