>Film Synopsis: There’s a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world 
doesn’t know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across five 
countries to explore the social and political movements as well as the 
mainstream media’s misperception of South America while interviewing 
seven of its elected presidents. In casual conversations with Presidents Hugo Chávez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President 
Nestor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and 
Raúl Castro (Cuba), Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new light upon the exciting transformations in the region.
