Plot

In the midst of a quiet revolution brewing in South America, renowned filmmaker Oliver Stone embarks on an insightful journey, delving beyond the headlines and public misconceptions. He navigates through five countries, exploring the vigorous social and political movements that are transforming the continent. "South of the Border" is not just a road trip; it's a deep dive into the heart of South America, in a quest to understand the reality behind the mirage presented by mainstream media. Stone engages in candid conversations with seven of the region's elected leaders, providing an unparalleled access into the minds shaping the future of these nations. From the charismatic Hugo Chavez of Venezuela to the pragmatic Lula da Silva of Brazil, from the indomitable Cristina Kirchner of Argentina and her husband, ex-President Nestor Kirchner, to the reformative Fernando Lugo of Paraguay, the visionary Rafael Correa of Ecuador, and the resilient Raul Castro of Cuba, Stone unravels the distinctive tapestry of their leadership. The film is a vibrant mosaic of political ideologies, social movements, and human resilience, shedding new light upon the transformative shifts happening south of the border. It challenges preconceptions, inviting the audience to witness the unfolding of a new chapter in South American history.
