Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author). Public Broadcasting Service (U.S.) (Added Author).

Summary: This edition of Frontline looks at Venezuela's controversial and outspoken president Hugo Chavez and the revolution he claims is turning his country into an anti-capitalist beacon for Latin America and the world. Through the lens of his unique weekly program "Aló Presidente" and the eyes of the Venezuelans who know him well, Frontline digs beneath the surface of his presidency and his personality to try to understand the mercurial leader.
