This independent short film was made by a group of journalists concerned about freedom of expression in Venezuela. It includes footage never before seen outside of Venezuela and contains videoclips that date back to the year 2001.
It is presented here by the New York-based Human Rights Foundation (www.thehrf.org) as part of its Free RCTV campaign to document the Venezuelan government's ongoing assault on freedom of the press in that country. We believe the test of democracy is freedom of criticism.
By direct order of the Venezuelan president, the last remaining nation-wide independent television station in Venezuela, RCTV, was shut down on May 28, 2007. We invite you to join us in saying no to censorship. Visit www.FreeRCTV.com to find out more.

Did you watch the video? Did you see him speaking against the media and insigting riots against people that dare to critize?
I cant believe how stupid people can be when some one claims to defend the poor. Look at what hes done to Venezuela in the las decade hes a fucking dictator.
Maybe you should move to Cuba (where i was born) to experience the joys of state run media and a dictator for life telling you how great everything is when every one is starving and no one can say anything about it.
Chavez is a terrorist dictator. He imposed his tyranny on Venezuela and is guilty of colonialism toward Honduras, which protected the rule of law and democracy from his ally the Communist dictator Zelaya.
Do u know what a dictator is? don't talk me about silly things like that as if were true.The people do not see that the media alienates the low minded people like you,those who believes that rctv was a poor tv channel,in fact, no renovation of the license was a very weak punishment.the president an director's of that channels must be in jail like the criminals they are,forcing people taking them to rebelion(media power)without logical reasons(the reasons were: to defend the interest's of a few.)
First off, no one was forcing anybody. There was no forced rebellion. It was a direct attack on press freedom when chavez refused to renew their license. He is censoring the media, like any other dictator would. He has been in power for almost 11 years, and the country is even worse than it was before. The inflation has risen, food shortages have become common, violence is increasing, and human rights have been violated. But you can't see that because you wouldn't believe anyone else but chavez.
You seem llike living in another country nor this one, dictatorship? rofl, human rights violated? where is the video of this org aout the peru sitation? oh riht, they do not really care about human rights, just media business, just a show, they say to defend human rights, but that's just a mask.
Because the Peru situation isn't as bad as this one. What would the media benefit in lying about this? You know you have problems when the only words you believe is the presidents... Ever heard about the retired army general being thrown in prison because he commented about two army solders being killed by a flamethrower in an army base? But of coarse it has to be a lie because it is not confirmed by your god, Hugo Chavez. When will you realize that you're being lied to?
Tell me, do you want Venezuela to become as poor as Cuba? Do you want to be denied to leave the country? Do you want the government to give you grains of rice instead of money to aid you? Chavez alienates the low minded people like you,those who believe that socialism is the way to go, even though it has failed else where. Can you name me a socialist country that doesn't have a dictator?
