One interesting documentary that I didn't see mentioned is "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". This documentary was on my Netfix list for years, but it was never released in the USA on DvD. It had a release date set at one point but the company that was releasing it ended up cancelling the release. It is now available on the internet for free.

It is the story of the coup that ousted Chavez from power in 2002. This is the Wikipedia entry for it:

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (a.k.a. Chavez: Inside the Coup) is a 2002 documentary about the April 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. A television crew from Ireland's Radio Telifís Éireann happened to be recording a documentary about Chávez during the events of April 11, 2002. Shifting focus, they followed the events as they occurred. During their filming, the crew recorded images of the events that they say contradict explanations given by Chávez opposition, the private media, the US State Department, and then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. The documentary says that the coup was the result of a conspiracy between various old guard and anti-Chávez factions within Venezuela and the United States.
