¿Puedo Hablar?

Documenting the Venezuelan revolution: Hugo Chavez, His supporters, and his detractors.

The team at Sol Productions in Venezuela Inc. spent just under three months in Venezuela filming "¿Puedo Hablar? / May I Speak?", following both candidates as they raced towards the December 3rd elections.   The film offers its audience a snapshot portrait of a Venezuelan society at a crossroads; a re-elected president, challenged by a reformed and mounting opposition; a valuable starting block for any debate on current Venezuelan politics.   The production team of four journeyed to six different regions of Venezuela, shooting everywhere from the notorious barrios of Caracas to the oil-rich Lake Maracaibo, from a city of five million to an Amazonian pueblo of twenty-three, criss-crossing the country in everything from Chavista motocicletas to dug-out canoes and a private jet.
