Synopsis of Hugo Chávez, El Comandante

Andrés Parra plays Hugo Chávez, a man of humble origins who, at just 44 years old and against all odds, becomes the most powerful and controversial leader in Latin America. Created by Venezuelan writer Moisés Naím and aired on RCN Televisión, the series follows the rise of a politician who comes to control the largest oil reserves on the planet and who shakes the continent like no one else. The story blends real events with fictional characters: the comrades who fight by his side, the spies who want to end his life, the women who stand by him and the members of the opposition. With these elements, the plot moves between suspense, action, politics and romance, and power and confrontation shape every decision the protagonist makes.

Trivia about Hugo Chávez, El Comandante

The Colombian premiere coincided with the final episode of Sin tetas si hay paraíso, and the series drew lower ratings than expected.
In October 2016, Diosdado Cabello threatened to sue Sony Pictures Television if the production went ahead.
In Venezuela, CONATEL ordered RCN Televisión's signal to be pulled to keep the public from watching the series in the country.
Andrés Parra had to learn the Venezuelan accent to bring Chávez to life, and the production considered several actresses for the role of Marisabel before choosing Gabriela Vergara.
The show was shot entirely on location in Colombia because working conditions in Venezuela made filming there difficult, and it was planned from the start with 60 episodes.
To transform physically into Chávez, Andrés Parra needed about two hours before each scene, with a curly wig, a fake double chin and makeup to darken the skin.
Sony described the project as its most ambitious Latin American series to date, with some 600 cast and crew members, and with 30 major events from Chávez's life recreated.
Nicolás Maduro publicly called the series "imperialist garbage" and urged Venezuelan filmmakers to produce their own version of the former president's life.
