Hugo Chávez rose to Venezuela's presidency promising to take from the rich and give to the poor, and this compilation gathers three short films tracking what that promise actually produced. The first, made three years into his term, follows reporters through a country where the middle and upper classes, along with Washington, have turned hostile, accusing Chávez of steering the country toward communism while his supporters in the barrios call him the first president who ever noticed them. Interviews run across the divide: economists and political analysts on one side, Chávez loyalists and opponents on the other, all describing the same country in incompatible terms. Later material follows the economy as oil prices sink and the social programs built on that revenue come under strain, with rolling blackouts becoming a visible symptom of a grid and a government both losing capacity. No narrator resolves the disagreement; the films let the contradictions between Chávez's popularity among the poor and his growing isolation from the propertied classes sit side by side, tracing how a socialist experiment funded by petroleum wealth meets its limits.
