"Venezuela: The revolution will not be televised": want a copy?

kropotkin

Hello all.

I recently downloaded a copy of “Venezuela - The Revolution Will not Be Televised” from bittorrent.

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
DIRECTED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY
KIM BARTLEY AND DONNACHA O'BRIAIN
IRELAND, 2003
74 MINUTES

HUGO CHAVEZ ELECTED PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA IN 1998, IS A COLORFUL,
UNPREDICTABLE FOLK HERO, beloved by his nation's working class and a
tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see him
deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed from office. They were also
present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid cheering aides. Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle and an extraordinary portrait of the man The Wall Street Journal credits with making Venezuela "Washington‚s biggest Latin American headache after the old standby, Cuba."



Fuck me that is a powerful film. It very neatly demonstrates class conflict, the role of media in manufacturing opinion, and the limits of non-revolutionary change.

Basically, it is fucking good.

It is of mediocre quality (somewhere between VHS and VCD), is an MPEG file, and fits on one CD. I think that it should be seen widely. So, this post is intended as an offer.

If anyone wants a copy of the film, post up here, and if you have a CD burner, also post that info up. We should be able to coordinate a way of getting one to everyone who wants a copy without anyone having to do more than two or so.
 
It would be faster if I just burned it to CD, sent it to several people, who did the same, blah blah

--> everyone who wants it gets it.
 
excellent, thats was on my list of indie movies I wanted to track down so yes please, and I was looking on Bit Torrent too :confused:

can burn a few copies too if needed
 
I'll have one if, anyone can be bothered, and will happily burn one for Thumper - PM me for address yep? :)
 
I want one too.

And I have 2 CD writers and a DVD writer so I can pass it on to 3 others...like in the film! :D
 
I'd like a copy, and I'll happily burn a few and send them out.

Saw this when it was on telly a while ago, and have been trying to get a copy since.
 
ok, thanks for the interest folks

There are 10 peeps who want it, and 5 of those have burners.

I will burn and send this weekend to

El jugador
Teecee
hiccup (dont I owe some music as well?)

and hotvans because she works 74 cm away from me.

El Jug has said he will burn for thumper and redjezza.


Teecee and hiccup neeed to cover Solidarnosc and DexterTCN as well as Barking mad ch750536 and toggle.

Is that OK?
Could we swap addresses then?

Yeah, I've got a couple of CDs for you as well, sat here on my printer. I'll send them today, definitely definitely. I think I sent you my address. Let me know if not.

Cool. Shall I take the first three (Solidarnosc, DexterTCN, Barking mad)?

Hold on.

I want a DVD copy. If you need a blank just let me know. Or if you need decryption software etc. I can also pass on DVD copies to others.

Ooh yeah! I'd prefer DVD to CD, that's assuming I'm not gonna be able to play the CD on anythingother than my pc, whereas the DVD will go in my PS2, much more convenient.

Still want the CD too (El Jug)
 
I'd quite like to see it, and I have a DVD burner (although it's currently in a plastic bag in the kitchen not in the computer where it needs to be.)
 
Agreed, DVD is far better. I have a dvd burner as well, and blanks.

Just a min, we should sort this out. We now have both mpeg and dvd copies, so we can cover everyone's desires nicely. I really want it on dvd.

hmm.


can someone with more organisational skills than me please helpout here?!!
 
Right.

Both Kropotkin and Fingers have the orginal film. Kropotkin can burn CDs and Fingers can burn the DVDs. DexterTCN has encryption software if required, he can also burn DVDs. On the CD burner list is Teecee, El Jugador and hiccup.

The rest of us are mere scruongers, hotvans, ch75036, solidarnosc, Thumper, Red Jezza, Barking Mad, Idris2002, toggle, Infaltable Jesus, MonkeyOrgan.

Us scroungers need to confirm what format we want. Me? I want both. Confirm your preferred format then we should be able to divvy up the work load.
