"Don't be poisoned by their lies," says Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in the last line of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, referring to the way that the media corrupts the truth for the purpose of political persuasion. And thus the immediacy of this documentary - which consists of footage captured during a two-day period in April 2002 when Chavez was kidnapped from the presidential palace in Caracas and the media announced a successful coup - serves simply as a good example of media manipulation.
