"Abby Martin and Michael Prysner... produce the weekly show, “The Empire Files.” During the interview, they highlight the make-up of the opposition in Venezuela. They share details about the violence they witnessed while on the ground. Both talk about the left-wing Chavism movement’s ability to withstand the opposition...[and] speak about the engagement of Venezuelans, especially lower class citizens, in participatory democracy. They outline what is truly going on with private media companies in Venezuela that are sowing chaos. They also address what they believed about the Venezuelan government under President Nicolás Maduro prior to their trip and how their perspectives shifted."
