Otro modo es posible… en Venezuela

This lucid and wide ranging documentary, shot in ten days in October 2002 but speaking with an authority far greater than the time frame might suggest, is intended as a tribute to 'the political consciousness and determination of the people of Venezuela'. The Latin American nation with the world's fifth largest oil reserves is currently experiencing what feels like a rerun of Chile's tribulations a generation earlier, with the US implicated in an anti-reformist campaign against the elected government of president Chavez. Talking to activists, community organisations and observers across the country, the film-makers ask questions ignored by the mainstream media, and suggest how a country might build a just and workable society from the ground up.
