[Guest post by Stuart R.]
In January 2009, Oliver Stone traveled to Venezuela to interview President Hugo Chávez, and examine the way Chávez has been portrayed in the U.S. media. Was Chávez really the "anti-American" force the media claimed he was?
Once the journey began, however, Stone and his crew found themselves going beyond Venezuela to several other countries, and interviewing seven Presidents in the region, telling a larger and even more compelling story.
In a series of casual conversations, Stone sits down with Presidents Chávez, Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex- President Néstor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raul Castro (Cuba).

I'm popping to see this in LDN, although not at all impressed with Stone's anti-Semitic outburst, the twat.
Hey Daniel,
What's he said, Oliver Stone? Fill me in...!
I wasn't sure about this post in the first place as I'm not a great fan of Cuba's Castro Boys and also not sure about Hugo Chavez...
Sad but true, Oliver Stone in anti-Semitic rant.
