NEXT SCREENING - DECEMBER 3TH

The Hands Off Venezuela Cinema Series “Venezuela: a Revolution on Film” continues with “No Volverán” (Melanie McDonald & Will Roche, 2007), a documentary shot by Hands Off Venezuela supporters during the Venezuelan presidential campaign on December 2006.

The victory of Hugo Chávez in 2006 was the result of a mass mobilisation that turned the presidential campaign into a political and social battle involving millions of Venezuelans. As a result of this momentum, a new phase of the Venezuelan Revolution opened, and a few days after being re-elected Chávez announced the opening of the debate on socialism.

The documentary explains how the landslide victory was possible and investigates the most important political and social issues at stake. The film-makers also met the international delegation of Hands Off Venezuela members who monitored the elections, and travelled with them to several factories including Sanitarios Maracay, a ceramics factory under workers' control.

This film is a key visual document to understand December 2006, a turning
point in the Venezuelan revolutionary process. The documentary makers will attend the screening and the Q&A session that will follow.
