This is an incredibly fascinating and captivating movie about the coup against Hugo Chavez in 2002. The events were captured up close by an Irish television crew who were there to record a documentary about Chavez.

The disturbing thing about this film is that it shows how important media is in shaping the minds of people. This makes me very grateful that the Internet is there, which allows you to search for your own truth by multiple sources around the world. It certainly strengthens my belief that many of the media companies bring media with a political and economic agenda in the background. The realization that many large media networks in the US are owned by, controlled by, or entangled with large private companies - for example NBC Universal is owned by General Electric - does not bode well for the principle of bringing unbiased news.

So see this movie, not with a pro- or against-Chavez mindset. But with a mindset that is open to the realization that you are always fooled by media in major and minor ways. And that it is incredibly important to think for yourself and be critical to everything you see and hear. This wisdom is not new. It was Socrates who said "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
