Oliver Stone's "South of the Border"

 Seeking to find the real Hugo Chavez, filmmaker Oliver Stone (Platoon, Born on the 4th of July, JFK) traveled to Venezuela with a film crew and ended up talking with other left-leaing new South American presidents, such as Bolivia's Evo Morales and others. In this edition of the Burt Cohen Show, co-writer Mark Weisbrot addresses the attacks on the film published recently in the New York Times, and discusses the reasons why the movie was made. South of the Border opens in theatres in early July.
