Venezuela: The Shadow of Chavez - Venezuela was once one of the richest nations in Latin America. Fueled by oil and driven by political ambition, the Chávez era reshaped the country’s economy, institutions, and global position. This documentary investigates how power, populism, and resource wealth collided—transforming a nation and leaving a lasting economic and political shadow that still defines Venezuela today.
Venezuela: The Shadow of Chavez
Director: Laurence Debray
Writers: Laurence Debray
Stars: Hugo Chávez, Juan Guaidó
Genre: Documentary, Politics, Current Affairs
Country: France
Language: French (original), English (available version)
Also Known As: Venezuela, l’ombre de Chavez
Release Date: 2019
Synopsis:
What’s happening in Venezuela? Is the country slowly shifting towards a dictatorship or taking a stand against sanctions imposed by the USA?
A team from Envoyé Spécial gained exclusive access to follow supporters of the regime, the guardians of Hugo Chávez’s ‘Revolution.’
Although he died in 2013, Hugo Chávez is omnipresent. Huge posters of his face are plastered throughout the streets of Caracas. His successor, Nicolás Maduro, constantly alludes to him to silence his opponents. For months, protests calling for his resignation have been met with repression, causing dozens of deaths. Venezuela, subject to sanctions from the USA and ridden with corruption, is bankrupt. Despite the country’s vast oil reserves, millions of Venezuelans suffer from hunger; the supermarkets are almost empty, food is sold at exorbitant prices, and hospitals are running out of medicine.
Who are the people who still believe in Chávez’s ideals and continue to support the regime of Nicolás Maduro?
