Venezuela has many faces: A South America n republic\, a former Spanish colony\, neighbour to Brazil in the south and Colombia to the west. It has the 7th largest reserves of oil in the world and currently supplies most of the US's daily oil needs.

\n

Politically the country has had a turbulent history\; wars\, revolutions and Coup d'é\;tats - the most recent of which was in 2002. Liste n To Venezuela takes the viewer into a contemporary revolution and extr aordinary experiment in radical democracy and social justice. In Venezue la\, people have rejected the savage neo-liberal capitalism that has bee n imposed the world over. The once marginalised majority have become pol itical actors in a story they have reclaimed from the Venezuelan oligarc hy\, Western business interests and Washington. This ambitious documenta ry evokes the scale and difficulties of radical social change in a polit ical and poetic collage.

\n

The directors Mike Wayne and Deirdre O'Neill spent 11 months in Venezuela and made the film while they were working there. They will introduce the film and do a Q&\;A after-ward s.

\n

Movie starts at 8pm.
