Washington
(ANI):
After
making
a
biopic
on
George
W
Bush,
American
filmmaker
Oliver
Stone
is
planning
to
helm
a
documentary
on
Venezuela's
controversial
President
Hugo
Chavez.
The
62-year-old
director
has
been
working
on
the
untitled
project
for
six
months
and
is
hoping
to
have
it
ready
for
next
year,
reports
Variety.
Stone
was
with
Chavez
in
February
during
the
dramatic
rescue
of
hostages
that
Chavez
helped
to
broker
from
the
militant
Columbian
FARC
group.The
will
focus
on
the
opposition
faced
by
Chavez
at
home
and
abroad,
especially
from
the
Bush
administration,
which
has
been
vocal
in
its
distaste
for
the
populist
socialism
espoused
by
Venezuela''s
president.
Stone's
previous
documentaries
include
'Comandante',
about
Cuban
President
Fidel
Castro,
and
'Persona
Non
Grata',
which
began
as
a
project
about
Yasser
Arafat
but
eventually
became
a
wider-reaching
primer
on
the
Palestinian-Israeli
conflict.
