...Amidst those tensions, says Alvarez, the Citgo program is proof that Chavez?s revolution is still fond of Americans, if not their government. (Citgo, Chavez aides point out, is also a NASCAR sponsor.) "We?ll continue to support a people whose government is hostile to us," says Alvarez. "We have nothing against this country."

...laughs): Oh that?s a huge question. I don?t think you can define such a complex relationship as a director and a writer and being friends and then he is also acting in the movie. I?m very, very fond that I met Sam a long time ago. I?ve actually worked more with novelists than screenwriters and I think it?s not a coincidence that Sam is really a playwright. He hasn?t written all that many scripts...
