Hugo! The Hugo Chavez Story: From Mud Hut to Perpetual Freedom
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 Nestor 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. For more than three decades, Oliver Stone has challenged
audiences to rethink historic events. Now after tackling war, Wall Street and the Kennedy assassination, among many other subjects,
the three-time Academy-Award winning director has set his sights on the continent of South America and the role the mass media has
played in shaping U.S. perceptions and policy. What starts as a road trip through a misunderstood region, becomes an in-depth look at the
impact of American foreign policy and the real people and presidents behind the sensational headlines. Through Stone's up-closeand-
personal interviews an alternate history of the South American continent begins to appear; a history of
violence and conflict but also a story of powerful elected leaders struggling to help their countries emerge from
under the heel of U.S. power. USA, 2010, 78 min. Director: Oliver Stone
