Oliver Stone is taking on a documentary about contentious President Hugo Chavez.

According to Variety, Stone has been working on the untitled doc for six months and is hoping to have it ready for next year. He told Variety that “It’s about Chavez and the South American revolution.”

Chavez helped broker the release of hostages held by the militant FARC group in neighboring Colombia, Stone was with Chavez at the time. Yet, the documentary will not focus on the hostage situation. It will focus on the opposition Chavez faced at home and abroad, particularly with the Bush administration.
