Consider this a bug in your ear. Oh, and why does a tiny little nation on another continent matter to us? Because like Iraq, they're sitting on our oil! Throw your lawn chair, a warm blanket (it's expected to be clear and cold), and a picnic basket in the bike trailer and join us at the Big Yellow House. See you Friday...

Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In Presents

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

On April 12, 2002, the world awoke to the news that Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez had been removed from office and replaced by a new government. Chavez, the democratically elected president of Venezuela, beloved by his nation's poor and working class, makes a colorful unpredictable folk hero and a tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see him deposed.

Two independent documentary filmmakers were inside Venezuela and suddenly found themselves in the heart of a coup d'état and captured those frightening moments and days in which a nation's political future hung in the balance. They were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, Chavez returned to power amid cheering crowds. Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état.

PLUS selected shorts, previews, yummy popcorn, good company, and an intermission.

8:00 pm Friday December 17th
Big Yellow House, 742 N. Branciforte Ave, Santa Cruz
