DESCRIPTION:'There’s a revolution underway in South America\, but most o
 f the world doesn’t know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across
  five countries to explore the social and political movements as well as t
 he mainstream media’s misperception of South America while interviewing 
 seven of its elected presidents. In casual conversations with Presidents H
 ugo Chávez (Venezuela)\, Evo Morales (Bolivia)\, Lula da Silva (Brazil)\,
  Cristina Kirchner  (Argentina)\, as well as her husband and ex-President 
 Nėstor Kirchner\,  Fernando Lugo  (Paraguay)\, Rafael Correa (Ecuador)\, 
 and Raúl Castro  (Cuba)\, Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new 
 light upon the exciting transformations in the region.' From: http://south
 oftheborderdoc.com/\n\nFollowing the film\, the panellists will go on to d
 iscuss the following questions:\n\n    * Is the documentary successful in 
 giving ideas of Latin American commonalities and unity?\n\n    * To what e
 xtent is Latin America facing similar social and political dilemmas and re
 presenting common ideological agendas?\n\n    * Do the countries featured 
 (mainly Venezuela\, Argentina\, Bolivia and Brazil) seem to be following a
  similar path politically?\n\n    * Does the documentary provide a legitim
 ate/fair vision of Latin America?
