Venezuela giving Danny Glover $18m To Direct Film On Epic Slave Revolt
Rory Carroll in Caracas
Venezuela is to give the American actor Danny Glover almost $18m to make a film about a slave uprising in Haiti, with President Hugo Chávez hoping the historical epic will sprinkle Hollywood stardust on his effort to mobilise world public opinion against imperialism and western oppression.

The Venezuelan congress said it would use the proceeds from a recent bond sale with Argentina to finance Glover's biopic of Toussaint Louverture, an iconic figure in the Caribbean who led an 18th-century revolt in Haiti.

It will also give seed money for a film version of The General in His Labyrinth, Gabriel García Márquez's novel about the last days of Simón Bolívar, who liberated much of South America from Spanish colonialism.

Glover, 60, who starred with Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon series, and more recently with Eddie Murphy in the film DreamGirls, is a civil rights activist and supporter of Mr Chávez's radical leftwing policies.

So, Danny Glover kisses up to a communist dictator who wishes to destroy America--and has said so... He takes his money to--ostensibly--make a movie, but what he is really doing is legitimizing Chavez's anti-American views and playing the fool.

Well, Lenin (or whomever) had a name for such dupes... I just call them backstabbing, anti-American, traitorous scum.
