"INFORMATIVE and PROVOCATIVE ... FEISTY and ENTERTAINING." - David Jenkins, TIME OUT LONDON

"Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone strikes once again into the political heart of darkness" - Laura Emerick, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"A EYE-OPENING DOCUMENTARY...captures South America in a paradigm shift, wrenching itself free of centuries of colonial control." - Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"PROVOCATIVE ... Oliver Stone’s celebration of the leftward tilt of South American politics comes as a cheerful surprise." - Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

There’s a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn’t know it. Oscar-winning filmmaker OLIVER STONE (Platoon, Wall Street, Natural Born Killers) sets out on a road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements and the mainstream media’s misconceptions of South America while interviewing seven of its elected presidents. In casual, provocative and enlightening conversations with Presidents Hugo Chávez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President Nestor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raúl Castro (Cuba), Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds compelling new light upon the exciting and seismic transformations in the region.
Featuring a screenplay by writer/historian TARIQ ALI, author of The Clash of Fundamentalisms and The Idea of Communism, and MARK WEISBROT, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in
Washington, D.C., and cinematography by legendary documentary filmmaker ALBERT MAYSLES (Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter), SOUTH OF THE BORDER is an eye-opening look into a world few have seen.
