 The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Movie Review - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Movie Trailer - The Boston ...
''The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'' -- the line comes from an old Gil Scott-Heron song -- details the scary scenario in which a cabal of Venezuelan businessmen, oil interests, local media barons, and possibly the CIA engineered the removal of the country's democratically elected president, Hugo Chavez.
Nowhere does ''Revolution'' mention that upon election, he overhauled the constitution to, among other things, prolong his term, nor is his 2000 visit with Saddam Hussein brought up.
Much of the drama in ''Revolution'' centers on whether the government's Channel 8 is up and broadcasting to a confused populace, leading a viewer to the inescapable conclusion that a president without access to a camera or microphone is no president at all.
