Oliver Stone’s new film South of the
Border isn't a documentary in any honest sense of the word,
writes Antonio Rumbos. It documents little save the uncurious
director’s bloated sense of self-satisfaction. As Rumbos writes,
the shameless mendacity and cynicism of a “documentary” that
unequivocally praises Hugo Chávez’ revolution while refusing to
show even the slightest compassion for, or even awareness
of, his victims, represents a new low in "left-wing"
polemic.
