Venezuela: Is the Bolivarian Revolution Working?

July 15, 2010

Venezuela is undergoing a modern day revolution. Workers, small farmers and the poor consistently vote for socialist President Hugo Chavez. Economically better-off citizens denounce the president as a communist who is destroying the country, but even some on the left criticize Chavez.

On this edition, independent producer Reese Erlich explores the controversy. He takes us from the high rise office buildings to the poor barrios of Caracas to hear sharply different viewpoints.

Special thanks to Reese Erlich for producing this show and to Patrick Leet and Jennifer Martinez for translations.
