VENEZUELA: Review of Oliver Stone's "South Of The Border."

NYTIMES/ LARRY ROHTER/
Fact-Finding CRITIQUE by NYT's longtime reporter in South America/
     "Unlike his movies about American presidents, the 78-minute “South of the Border” is meant to be a documentary, and therefore to be held to different standards. But it is plagued by the same issues of accuracy that critics have raised about his movies, dating back to “JFK.” Taken together, the mistakes, misstatements and missing details could undermine Mr. Stone’s glowing portrait of Mr. Chávez."
