No matter what side of the political fence we stand, this looks to be an interesting documentary! The film opens on July 2, 2010.
From Wikipedia.org:
(Oliver) Stone has recently completed a documentary about Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and the rise of progressive, leftist governments in
Latin America. Stone, who is a supporter of Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution, hopes the film will get the Western world to rethink the Venezuelan
president and socialist policies. Titled South Of The Border, the documentary premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2009.

In some ways it is. But, there are moderate voices provided by the Presidents of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. The South American continent
definitely leans to the Left, and it is interesting to hear precisely why.
I don't think there is much provided information-wise from the the Mexican Presidency or those from Central America, but I want to learn more from
these leaders. I already know plenty about what is happening in Colombia, and I traveled to Peru and learned there how those two Government's are our
staunchest allies.

Thanks Ken... I will be going to you for South American advice... you are El Experto!
How long before Leidys can go to Baja? When can she come and visit us or us to you?
We're planning our next trip this summer. Our short list includes; Puerto Rico, La Paz, Cancun, Costa Rica. The criteria are - Latin music, tropical
environs, nice sandy beaches, relative low cost.
In the trailer, it is interesting that the focus is on the people of the barrios, and of not the educated or anyone from the ruling class in that
country.
So, this Memorial Day trip to Mision Santa Maria is too soon for her?
Shell Island is going to be visited by us this summer, more than once... awesome four wheeling... do join us! There isn't a cheaper vacation beach
destination and you get the nicest beach in North America, just a day's drive from home...

One problem is that Leidys needs coverage from the sunlight. Her skin breaks out with too much exposure. Memorial Day weekend is too soon, as her
paperwork won't be ready until early June. We would gladly rent a hotel and visit you in the late afternoon through evening though.
The reason San Felipe doesn't fill the bill is that Leidys wants to go out at night, get dressed up, and dance to Salsa music.

Does it star our favorite Dem Sean Penn?

I don't think that Sean Penn made the trip to Venezuela. The entire film crew is shown while taping S. American dignitaries.
I don't understand your response, sorry
However, Sean most definetly went to Venezuela, but I am not sure if Oliver Stone has gone to Venezuela.
What was he doing there?? To meet Hugo Chavez? Was he invited, or was he protesting media consolidations? I didn't hear about this.
In all seriousness, Sean is a HUGE Hugo fan. If you go on google you can probably find the videos, but, yes he is firends with Hugo and has been down
to visit more than once.
