Haven't seen it and don't expect to. Would be surprised if it gains a wider release than it's had to date.
The coup against Chavez was certainly viewed as a positive by the American oil industry (and thus in turn by the Bush Administration). However, I would doubt that the film is suggesting or documenting that the United States plotted this coup. Maybe it was a covert CIA thing, but nothing's been proven. So, I don't know see why the screening of this film would be cancelled, unless Amnesty International is underwritten by Exxon-Mobil. What's the big conspiracy here that the film is exposing?
I work in the same building as the Venezualan consulate in Houston. On the day of the coup, there was a good-sized rally out front of the office. A couple of days later, when Chavez was restored to power, there was no such rally, probably because the people who would have been there were actually working. Viva La Revolucion...
