      Inside the Revolution: A Journey into the Heart of Venezuela is a just-released documentary filmed in Caracas in November 2008, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of Hugo Chavez's controversial presidency.

      According to journalist John Pilger, "This is a rare film about Venezuela, a country in extraordinary transition. Watch this film because it is honest and fair and respectful of those who want to be told the truth about an epic attempt, flaws and all, to claim back the humanity of ordinary people."

      February 2009 marked 10 years since President Hugo Chavez took office, following a landslide election victory, and launched a revolution to bring radical change to Venezuela. While wildly popular with many in the country, Chavez's policies and his strongly worded criticisms of the U.S. government have also made him powerful enemies, both at home and abroad, especially in the media.

      This 65-minute film traces the recent history of Venezuela, before and after the election of Hugo Chavez to the presidency, using archive material and interviews with Venezuelans living in the barrios of Caracas who are involved in community and social movements, as well as interviews with leading Venezuelan social scientists.
