FEBRUARY 2, 1999:

pbsvideovault:

On this day in 1999, Hugo Chavez assumed office as president of Venezuela. 

In 2008, FRONTLINE aired “The Hugo Chavez Show,” an inside look at the infamous leader.  

Controversial, bombastic, he believes he is destined to change Venezuela and the whole of Latin America. Who is Hugo Chavez? And where is he headed?

For today’s Vault Video, we bring you “The Hugo Chavez Show” show again.
