LA MINACCIA
A film by Silvia Luzi and Luca Bellino, Italy/Venezuela, 2008, 86 min.
Original version with Portuguese subtitles.

This film is a journey to the country that gave rise to the “red wave” in Latin America. President Hugo Chavez presents that largest oil reserve in the world, his TV program and his discourse. Uncommonly though, the documentary also offers the opportunity of entering into the lives of Venezuelans nine years into the Bolivarian revolution, and to listen to their thoughts. Does Venezuela bring the dream of a new socialist society or is it merely another distortion of populism and dictatorship?
