Trailer: Oliver Stone's South of the Border
11 Sep 2009

In January 2009, filmaker Oliver Stone traveled to Venezuela to interview President Hugo Chavez.

Stone says, "Chavez is as much of a threat to the system as Castro was. He's a great example. If he succeeds, it will be the first time in Latin American history, except for Castro, where he's led an entire region away from the United States' economic controls." 

Stone's film about Chavez, "South of the Border" premiered at the Venice Film festival.
