U.S. filmmaker Oliver Stone said he sees Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as an energetic, principled champion of change in Latin American and hopes to capture the spirit of his drive to roll back U.S. influence in a documentary he’s been filming.
“The film’s about the spirit of the changes in South America,” Stone told a reporter in Venezuela.
The Oscar-winning director said the documentary, as yet untitled, should be released in a matter of months.
