The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

26 gennaio 2006
ore 20:00 (Durata: 3 ore)

The documentary The Revolution Will Not Be Televised will be screened in English followed by a discussion as part of the Eyes Wide Open Film Series presented by U.S. Citizens for Peace & Justice - Rome.

Film Synopsis:
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is an extraordinary documentary by Irish filmmakers Kim Bartley and Donnacha O’Briain, who by happenstance were able to document the events surrounding the April 2002 coup d’etat against democratically elected President Chávez of Venezuela. The filmmakers were able to remain in the presidential palace in Venezuela and document while opposition forces violently overtook the government and dismantled Venezuela’s pillar democratic institutions, including the National Assembly, the Supreme Court, the Constitution and the offices of the Ombudsman and Attorney General. They were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid cheering aides. Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle and an extraordinary portrait of the man The Wall Street Journal credits with making Venezuela "Washington's biggest Latin American headache after the old standby, Cuba. The film also exposes the atrocious human rights violations committed with the purpose of executing the coup successfully."

    Turkish opponents and journalists in prison but Atlantic leaders remain unfazed

    The embarrassing NATO summit in Ankara

    This summit is a blatant application of the double standard policy. NATO preaches democracy and freedom and then meets in Turkey where democracy is trampled and freedom comes at a high price for political opponents, journalists, and human rights activists.

    La mappa della pace in Turchia

    In un paese come la Turchia dove la libertà di espressione è spesso messa a dura prova, il movimento pacifista rappresenta una realtà complessa e coraggiosa che intreccia inevitabilmente la difesa dei diritti umani e la risoluzione della questione curda.

    L’imbarazzante vertice NATO ad Ankara

    Questo vertice è la palese applicazione della politica del doppio standard. La NATO predica la democrazia e la libertà e poi si riunisce in Turchia dove la democrazia viene calpestata e la libertà viene pagata a caro prezzo da oppositori politici, giornalisti e attivisti per i diritti umani.
