There’s a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn’t know it.
For more than three decades, Oliver Stone has challenged audiences to rethink historic events. Now after tackling war, Wall Street and the Kennedy assassination, among many other subjects, the three-time Academy-Award winning director has set his sights on the continent of South America and the role the mass media has played in shaping U.S. perceptions and policy.
What starts as a road trip through a misunderstood region, becomes an in-depth look at the impact of American foreign policy and the real people and presidents behind the sensational headlines. Through Stone’s up-close-and-personal casual conversations with Presidents Hugo Chávez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President Nėstor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raúl Castro (Cuba), an alternate history of the South American continent begins to appear. A story of violence and conflict as well as one of powerful elected leaders struggling to help their countries emerge from under the heel of U.S. power.
The Independent’s Jonathan Romney calls this film ‘a necessary tilt at US media paranoia’ so don’t miss the opening night of SUFF to catch what Oliver Stone hopes will unveil a far different side of the ‘official’ story.
Enjoy complimentary food thanks to Timeout Sydney plus Fat Yak beer and Rosnay organic wine and a special opening night performance to one of the most renown and unforgettable surrealist films! Plus the Timeout Sydney Underground party after the film with music till late.
