The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003)

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised… Gil Scott Heron

The Film
This film is not only extraordinary inside viewing of the kidnap of a president and the overthrow of a military coup by people power, but it is also a remarkable exposure on the influence and use media to twist and change the facts in the world oil game. The Revolution Will Not be Televised contains distressing and violent images but despite this presents a rare burst of optimism in a profit crazy, oil grabbing world. Sadly its not found a distributor despite it winning so many awards. An abridged version has been shown on channel four. This copy has been sent to me by a Veneuzalen support group…nik
