South of the Border: New Oliver Stone Doc
tags:
Stumble Thiswikipedia: South of the Border is a 2009 documentary produced and directed by Oliver Stone. The documentary premiered at the ‎2009 Venice Film Festival. Writer for the project Tariq Ali calls the documentary "a political road movie."
The film has Stone and his crew travel from the Caribbean down the spine of the Andes in an attempt to explain the "phenomenon" of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, and account for the continent's recent leftward tilt. A key feature is also Venezuela's recent Bolivarian revolution and Latin America's political progress in the 21st century. In addition to Chávez, Stone sought to flesh out several other Latin American presidents whose policies and personalities generally get limited media attention in the United States and Europe, notably: Evo Morales of Bolivia; Cristina Kirchner of Argentina; Rafael Correa of Ecuador; Raúl Castro of Cuba; Fernando Lugo of Paraguay; and Lula da Silva of Brazil.
