Oliver Stone Doing Hugo Chavez Documentary

Hugo-Chavez-Documentary.jpgSay what you want about Oliver Stone… the dude does what he wants, when he wants and how he wants to do it. You may not dig his films, but you gotta admire that quality in him at least a little bit.

Along that theme, Stone seems to be setting up his next project that I think will be remarkably interesting, but at the same time probably very unpopular. A documentary on Venezuela president Hugo Chavez. The good folks over at Movieweb give us this:

Stone was with Chavez in February during a hostage siege where he successfully brokered the hostages release from the radical Columbian group FARC. The documentary will not focus on the hostage rescue, but Chavez’s opposition in his own country and worldwide, most notably from the Bush administration.

Love or hate Chavez, there’s no denying this is a fascinating man and I think a documentary on him and what he’s doing will be great to see.
