Film Description



Documenting the Venezuelan revolution: Hugo Chavez, his supporters, and his detractors.

The team at Sol Productions in Venezuela Inc. spent just under three months in Venezuela filming ¿Puedo Hablar? / May I Speak?, following both candidates as they raced towards the December 3rd elections. The film offers its audience a portrait of a Venezuelan society at a crossroads; a re-elected president, challenged by a reformed and mounting opposition; a divided state, but one from which the Sol team manages to extract glimmers of hope for renewed dialogue and a bridging of the political gap.

The production team of four journeyed to six different regions of Venezuela, shooting everywhere from the notorious barrios of Caracas to the oil-rich Lake Maracaibo, from a city of five million to an Amazonian pueblo of twenty-three, criss-crossing the country in everything from Chavista motorcycles to dug-out canoes and a private jet.
