Uwe Kroegen Accepting the 2003 Peabody Award for “Chavez: Inside the Coup”
This provocative and controversial program was created from footage gathered by Irish documentarians Kim Bartley and Donnacha O’Briain during the 2002 coup d’etat attempting to oust Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez from office. Bartley and O’Briain had come to Venezuela to make a film about Chavez and had secured full access and cooperation in order to produce a close, personal profile of the president.
