In January 2009, Oliver Stone travelled to Venezuela to interview President Hugo Chavez, and examine the way Chavez has been portrayed in the U.S. media. Was Chavez really the anti-American force the media claimed he was? Once the journey began, however, Stone and his crew found themselves going beyond Venezuela to several other countries, and interviewing seven Presidents in the region, telling a larger and even more compelling story. In a series of casual conversations, Stone sits down with Presidents Chavez, Evo Morales Bolivia, Lula da Silva Brazil, Cristina Kirchner Argentina, as well as her husband and ex-President Néstor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo Paraguay, Rafael Correa Ecuador, and Raúl Castro Cuba. The best way to convey it further was to take the film on the road and talk to Chavez’s allies in the region, the director says. Every single one of them was extremely positive about Chavez.
