Episode 9 | How did Chávez take over Venezuela’s oil industry?

After the failed coup of April 2002, Venezuela entered a new phase of confrontation. Chávez purged the military, the opposition occupied Plaza Altamira, and the battle moved to the heart of the Venezuelan state: PDVSA.

This is the story of the national strike that was meant to bring Chávez down—and turned into his greatest victory.
