Hugo Rey

In 2007 Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez started his campaign to change the constitution, to allow for unlimited re-elections of the President. Through TV-footage and personal presence, this documentary follows the time leading up to the referendum, showing what enormous engagement it created both among Chávez's sympathisers and his opposition among studens. We also find Liliana, a singel mother among hundreds of thousands in the slums of Caracas, who in return for promises of a government sponsored housing supports the President in his yearning for power. rfa
