Paul Cabanis 2024

Nicolás Maduro’s improbable journey, from bus driver to authoritarian ruler of oil-rich Venezuela, mirrors his nation’s rise and fall. Once left for dead amid sanctions and collapse, he clung to power through repression and sheer will. But as the war in Ukraine reshapes global geopolitics, Venezuela’s vast oil reserves have made him relevant again. This documentary traces the resilience, ruthlessness, and political skill of a man determined to lead Venezuela’s socialist revolution at any cost, in a world that may once again need what he controls.
