Buenos Aires -- American director Oliver Stone deflected criticism that his film about South American presidents provided a glossed-over picture of the region's political landscape and its controversial leaders.
In a packed auditorium at the University of Buenos Aires' Law School, Stone presented "South of the Border" with a public interview alongside producer Fernando Sulichin and scriptwriter Mark Weisbrot. Moderated by local journalist Jorge Lanata, the dialogue would later turn into a press conference that included an open microphone for the public.
The interview was the final event in his promotional tour through the region, which had started last week in Caracas with the premiere of his film, which is based on a series of interviews with Latin American presidents Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Evo Morales of Bolivia, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner of Argentina, Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva of Brazil, Rafael Correa of Ecuador, Fernando Lugo of Paraguay, and Raul Castro of Cuba.
