An extended belly-bump of a documentary, South of the Border is Oliver Stone’s feel-good take on the new South American politics. A vanity project by proxy, Stone attempts to restore (in the case of Hugo Chávez) and establish the reputations of the new guard of South American leadership, a superfriends conglomerate that rejects the imperial interests of the United States. Though he lavishes praise on his subjects for being hyper-masculine and free-thinking, Stone is downright girlish in his devotion, scoffing at charges made against the leaders rather than examining them. The plethora of Fox News-based inanity makes such elisions pretty easy: Obviously the haters — notably a pair of anchors who can’t tell the difference between cocoa and coca — are nuts, right?

Welcome back to Moment of Truth, Movieline’s spotlight on the best in nonfiction cinema. Today we hear from director Oliver Stone about his new documentary South of the Border , which opens tomorrow in limited release. For all the political heat Oliver Stone has withstood (and will continue to withstand) over the years, no one can really call the guy a slacker. Take his latest doc South of the Border , which Stone filmed and edited during the course of making two narrative features and a 10-hour documentary he’s still working on. The concept was simple enough, even while the implications were more than a little complex: Introduce the leaders of seven Latin American countries to U.S. and European audiences who, for too long, have received the wrong idea about them from the media. Does it work? That’s up to you.
