July 21st – Special Preview, 3rd August – Introduced by the Venezuelan Ambassador in London.

There’s a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn’t know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements as well as the mainstream media’s misperception of South America while interviewing seven of its elected presidents.

Focusing on the ‘Bolivarian revolution’ in Venezuela under President Hugo Chavez, Stone also had unprecedented access to six other elected presidents; Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President Nestor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raul Castro (Cuba), shedding new light upon the exciting transformations in the region.
