A DCTV and Discovery-Times Production
In Venezuela: Revolution in Progress you gain unique access into the forces that almost unseated President Hugo Chavez. Truth in Venezuela becomes a relative term as an increasingly polarized population struggles to come to terms with Chavez' election.

As the White House talks about democracy marching around the world ­ it’s important to pay attention to whose drum is setting the beat in Latin America.




Venezuela supplies the U.S. with 15% of the oil we consume every day (and actually owns Citgo), yet the two countries are in a nearly constant war of words.

This film will give you some insight into the social divisions in Venezuela and how they relate to President Chavez - who often leads the rhetorical charge against “U.S. hegemony” on a continent that has had a complicated relationship with the U.S. since the Monroe doctrine ­ and where that traditional relationship is currently in radical flux.

We need to pay attention to how U.S. action (and inaction) is perceived in Venezuela and all of South America.
But this is a story about democracy Venezuelan-style and the first Presidential Recall Election in democratic history.
