Some achievements characterize the Chavez era, in Venezuela: the fight against illiteracy and hunger, the creation of a public health care system and the development of an economy based on cooperative work. On the other hand are the country’s 60 violent deaths a week and its collapsing hospitals, the closure of the most popular television channel, the opposition black list and the ubiquitous government propaganda. A trip with President Chavez over the largest oil reserve in the world, situated beneath the Orinoco river, is the starting point for a journey across the country which gave rise to the "red wave" in Latin America. Nine years after the beginning of its Bolivarian revolution, does Venezuela represent the dream of a new socialist society or is it just another distortion of populism and dictatorship?
