[Marxism] Chavez, Venezuela and the New Latin America - DVD screening New York March 17

["Ocean Press" <edit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thursday March 17 at 8:00 pm


DVD SCREENING & BOOK PARTY AT BRECHT FORUM (NEW YORK)



Chavez, Venezuela and the New Latin America


Speakers: Leonor Osorio (Venezuelan Consul General) and others



In February 2004, Aleida Guevara conducted an exclusive and extensive
interview with Hugo Chávez, president of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela. The interview explored Venezuela's explosive revolutionary
terrain post-April 2002--when Chavez survived a coup attempt instigated by
the United States.



Portions of the interview have been included by Oceanfilm in a one hour
documentary to be screened at the Brecht Forum Thursday March 17 at 8pm.



Leonor Osorio is the Venezuelan Consul General in New York. She will be
joined by a speaker from the Cuban Mission to the United Nations.



In this extraordinary encounter, Chavez explains his vision for Venezuela
and his commitment to a unified Latin America. He discusses Venezuela's new,
democratic constitution and his country's relations with the United States
and Cuba. Chavez also reveals his personal commitment to the politics of Che
Guevara, Aleida's father.



Ocean Press has just published the full and fascinating text of Aleida
Guevara?s interview with Hugo Chávez as a book, in English and Spanish
(Chávez, Venezuela & the New Latin America / Chávez: Un hombre que anda por
ahi). The book and the DVD also feature an interview with General Jorge
Garcia Carneiro, head of the Venezuelan armed forces, who was instrumental
in encouraging the popular resistance that thwarted the 2002 coup.



Copies of the DVD are available for US$25 (for individuals).
