February 2009 marked 10 years since Hugo Chávez took office, following a landslide election victory, and launched his revolution to bring radical change to Venezuela. While wildly popular with many in the country, Chávez's policies and his outspoken criticisms of the U.S. government have made him powerful enemies, both at home and abroad, especially in the media.
Filmed in Venezuela's capital Caracas in November 2008, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of Chavez's controversial presidency, INSIDE THE REVOLUTION takes a journey into the heart of Venezuela's revolution to listen to the voices of the people driving the process forward.
"This is a rare film about Venezuela, a country in extraordinary transition. Watch this film because it is honest and fair and respectful of those who want to be told the truth about an epic attempt, flaws and all, to claim back the humanity of ordinary people."

Inside The Revolution takes the argument deeper than previous films, making an effort to gauge what kind of example Venezuela provides for the left.
