Amazing close-up footage of the 2-3 day Venezuelan coup in April of 2002 by a team of reporters, who so happened to be with President Chávez at that particular moment, and caught the whole story on tape as it unfolded. Donnacha O'Briain and Kim Bartley were with Chávez in the Palace filming for RTE, the Irish national broadcaster, when the opposition with backing from the US, and then also from the Venezuelan Army commanders, seized control from the populist government in an effort to stop Chávez' plans to change the way the profits of Venezuelan oil were controlled by an elite few, while the rest of the country got nothing. |
