Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday he has asked film producers to make “socialist soap operas,” because there’s too much capitalism on TV.
“A while ago, I was in Cuba and they broadcast soap operas there, not capitalist soap operas but with a social content — socialist [soap operas],” Chavez told a group of filmmakers and scriptwriters on his weekly radio and television show, “Alo Presidente.” “I’m going to ask that we make socialist soap operas, instead of capitalist ones.”
In 2006, Chavez opened Villa del Cine, a filmmaking center outside Caracas that produces full-length and short films and documentaries.
