Plot

The documentary narrates the period of the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, from the 1948 coup d'état against President Rómulo Gallegos and the human rights violations committed by the Seguridad Nacional secret police (including censorship, arrests, torture and extrajudicial killings) to the public works and lavish carnivals promoted by the oil boom.[1][2]

Release

The film was screened in Venezuela on 7 September 2012. Oteyza declared that he was aiming to screen the documentary on 23 January, the anniversary when Pérez Jiménez was overthrown, but it was not possible due to the production time.[2]
