RSSThe president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, walked the red carpet with 50 bodyguards at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of a movie about him.
At one stage, Chavez took a photographer’s camera to snap a shot of himself and threw a flower. He was accompanied by Oliver Stone who directed South of the Border, a documentary about making a trip to visit Chavez and pushing through prejudice.
Chavez made nothing less than a dramatic landing at the Venice Lido in a carabinieri helicopter. He suffers from sea sickness and would not take a boat.
Full of praise for Stone, who was himself radiant, Chavez declared:”Rebirth is happening in Latin America and Stone went to look for it and he found it. With his cameras and his genius, he’s captured a good part of that rebirth.”
Stone for his part said he made the movie to address the idea that Latin America was not democratic and misinformation in the press. “If you look now, there are seven presidents, eight countries with Chile, that are really moving away from the Washington consensus control. But in America, they don’t get that story.”
