In this charged and controversial documentary, three-time Oscar winning director Oliver Stone (“Wall Street,” “W.”) takes a road trip to seven Latin American countries to provide an alternative perspective on current affairs in Central and South America. Focusing primarily on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a man famous in America more for his outspoken criticism of the U.S. than for his efforts to improve the lives of his citizens, Stone gets up close and personal with the leaders of seven countries as they explain their plans to regain control over their countries’ resources and achieve economic independence. An eye-opening look at our neighbors to the south that aims to shed light on the misunderstood and often misrepresented world of Latin American politics.
