10 Years of Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution (Movimientos/London/5/2/09)

MOVIMIENTOS @ The Salmon & Compass
Thursday 5th February

10 Years of Venezuela’s Bolivarian revolution, speakers and discussion + special guest DJs

::: Upstairs

> 7.30pm - Documentary: Puedo Hablar?
"¿Puedo Hablar? / May I Speak?" follows both candidates in the December 2006 Venezuelan elections. The film offers its audience a snapshot portrait of a Venezuelan society at a crossroads; a re-elected president, challenged by a reformed and mounting opposition; a valuable starting block for any debate on current Venezuelan politics. The production team of four journeyed to six different regions of Venezuela, shooting everywhere from the notorious barrios of Caracas to the oil-rich Lake Maracaibo, from a city of five million to an Amazonian pueblo of twenty-three, criss-crossing the country in everything from Chavista motocicletas to dug-out canoes and a private jet.
