*Synopsis: **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.  In casual conversations with Presidents Hugo
Chávez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina
Kirchner  (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President N**ė**stor
Kirchner, Fernando Lugo  (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raúl
Castro  (Cuba), Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new light upon
the exciting transformations in the region.*
