No Volverán: The Venezuelan Revolution Now
Venezuela's Bolivarian revolution gets a ground-level look here, made by the Hands Off Venezuela campaign and built around footage of workers organizing inside occupied and worker-run factories. The film found its widest audience after Mario Silva aired it on his daily television program La Hojilla, telling viewers it showed how organizing actually happens from the bottom up rather than from speeches or state announcements. Rather than following politicians or set-piece rallies, the camera stays with shop-floor meetings and the day-to-day work of running a factory collectively, showing the arguments, logistics, and small victories that grassroots control involves in practice. The focus throughout is on the working class as the people driving events, not commenting on them from outside. It is a partisan record rather than a balanced survey, made by activists sympathetic to the revolution, and its value is as a document of how that movement described itself to its own television audience at the time.
