Holiday Special Documentary:
Venezuela's Hugo Chavez: the Poor People's President
People in Venezuela adore their president. They talk of
Hugo Chavez using words like "love," "amigo,"
"the ultimate," and there is real passion in their
voices, almost like they are describing their favorite pop
group or a living legend. In contrast, others in Venezuela
- mostly wealthy, mostly white - have a feverish dislike of
President Chavez. But not in the low-income neighborhood of
El Valle. Join Deepa Fernandes and Matt Rogers for a journey
into people's homes and hearts to see why, despite a coup
and a 3 month long crippling shut-down of industry, President
Hugo Chavez has maintained the loyalty of the majority of
poor Venezuelans.
