Fathoming the Coup in Honduras. The documentary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp_1tdE8pIM
Directed by Katia Lara, Produced by Carlos Del Valle

Synopsis:
René is a Honduran amateur actor who appeared on television spots promoting the referendum on convening the National Constituent Assembly in Honduras. On June 28th, 2009, instead of a referendum, there was a brutal coup d'état: the army abducted President Manuel Zelaya and had him flown abroad. Along with thousands of other Hondurans, René joined the National Resistance Front against the Coup d' État. An unprecedented Honduras arises: a people who resist despite media bias, violence and death, and take to the streets to stand up for their rights. This is their story.
