Through interviews with former government officials, associates of Chavez, and everyday Venezuelans, the documentary offers a comprehensive overview of precisely how the Venezuelan president achieved his position of power, and how he plans to use the powers of the presidency to remain in office. A look at Chavez&#8217;s weekly televised show &#8220;Al\u00f3 Presidente&#8221; reveals how the president&#8217;s clever use of the media has endeared him to the population of Venezuela. The program also looks back to the failed 1992 coup that first put him in the media spotlight, though it also earned him a two-year prison sentence. Released in 1994, Chavez immediately began laying the groundwork for his eventual rise to the presidency four years later. After 10 years in power and the expenditure of billions of dollars, the social ills Hugo Chavez promised to fix don&#8217;t seem to be showing any major signs of improvement<br \/>\nCall Number: <a href=\"http:\/\/fau.catalog.fcla.edu\/permalink.jsp?28FA021591869\">F2329.22 .C54 H845 2008<\/a> (Boca Raton Media Center)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Leftist Governments in Latin America: Success and Shortcomings<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Edited by Kurt Weyland, Ra\u00fal L.
