the title of gil scott - heron’s best - known song, the revolution will not be televised, has entered the language. when it was released in 1971, it was a sardonic commentary on the fate of black american radicalism: “you will not be able to stay home, brother. you will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. you will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials, because the revolution will not be televised. ” now, it can be seen as the beginning of rap, a style of music which today dominates the charts in the us, the uk – indeed, the world. the musical movement begun by scott - heron, who died on friday aged 62, took black culture squarely into the mainstream, and could be said to have ultimately paved the way for barack obama to become president of the united states .

the revolution, according to gil scott - heron, won’t be dictated by the government or by corporations. to make that point clear, he ridicules various government officials: “the revolution will not show you pictures of nixon / blowing a bugle and leading a charge by john mitchell, general abrams and spiro agnew to eat / hog maws confiscated from a harlem sanctuary. ” mocking the claims made in advertisements, gil scott - heron notes that the revolution (unlike ultra brite, schick, and other brands) “will not give your mouth sex appeal / the revolution will not get rid of the nubs / the revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, brother. ” denouncing popular television shows of the time, scott - heron says in the song: “ green acres, the beverly hillbillies, and hooterville junction will no longer be so goddamn relevant, and women will not care if dick finally screwed jane on search for tomorrow because black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. ” despite the song’s outdated allusions, the new yorker called it a “classic that sounds as subversive and intelligent now as it did when it was new” (wilkinson) .

what seems ultimately incontestable, however, is that the film captures – and from the eye of the storm – the attempted military overthrow of a democratically elected government, and its reversal by a popular uprising. and it is this – a familiar story with a less - familiar ending – that gives the revolution will not be televised its awesome emotional pull, late night or not .

the film was positively received by mainstream film critics and won several awards. reviewers cited the filmmakers’ unprecedented proximity to key events and praised the film for its “riveting narrative”; [ 1 ] criticism focused on its lack of context and pro - chávez bias. first shown on television in europe and venezuela in 2003, the revolution will not be televised later appeared at film festivals and secured a limited theatrical release on the art house circuit. independent activists held unofficial screenings, and venezuelan government officials encouraged its circulation to build support for chávez’s administration. the film is regularly shown on venezuelan television, and in the capital it is often broadcast during “contentious political conjunctures”. [ 2 ] the revolution will not be televised paints chávez in a favorable light, which has led to disputes over its neutrality and accuracy; particular attention is paid to its framing of the violence of 11–13 april, the filmmakers’ editing of the timeline, and the alleged omission of incidents and personnel. the film is variously cited as an accurate portrayal or a misrepresentation of the events of april 2002 .
the revolution will not be televised is a powerful film about the charismatic and controversial venezuelan president hugo chavez. it charts the attempt to overthrow him in april 2002 and provides an eyewitness account of his extraordinary return to power some forty - eight hours later. this book, which includes a dvd of this electrifying documentary, not only sheds light on contemporary politics in latin america but also focuses on important issues in documentary filmmaking .

the revolution that won’t be televised in the north is chavez’s bolivarian revolution, a grand plan to establish a regional power bloc to counter u. s. imperialism in south america. chavez’s plan has, in the words of the wall street journal, made venezuela “washington’s biggest latin america headache after the old standby, cuba. ”
so, 40 years after scott - heron’s call for action, and on the eve of martin luther king day 2014, we can be pretty sure he was right: the revolution will indeed not be televised. it will, however, be streamed. two recent examples of the role of streaming in coverage of “revolutions” include a digital version of occupy wall street, called occupystreams, and the coverage of the arab spring, where citizen video - journalism was often the only media outlet available .

the revolution will not be televised
has become an iconic slogan and the album itself has been praised for its political and social commentary. it' s a cult classic within the black consciousness movement, but also very popular in hiphop, as scott - heron' s socially conscious and catchy vocal delivery is considered to be a predecessor of the genre, along with the last poets. especially in conscious hip hop and political rap quotes from this record have been frequently sampled up .
what gives the film its real power is that the crew happened to be filming in the presidential palace when venezuela' s oligarchs launched a coup attempt against the populist mr. chavez. if you ever wanted a primer on the interplay between u. s. foreign policy, oil and the war on terrorism, this is as good a place as any to start. the film is also known as the revolution will not be televised - - tipping a nod to poet and musician gil scott - heron' s famous paean against the soporific qualities of television .

mr. stone’s film includes some new footage from the confrontation at the bridge, but its basic argument hews closely to that of “the revolution will not be televised, ” a film the chávez camp has endorsed. that documentary, however, has been subject to rebuttal by another, called “x - ray of a lie, ” and by brian a. nelson’s book “the silence and the scorpion: the coup against chávez and the making of modern venezuela” (nation books), neither of which mr. stone mentions .

while zoellner examines the production pressures and factors that shape the focus and form of documentary film, temple university anthropologist naomi schiller in her study considers how political and social context influence the perceived legitimacy of a documentary. schiller considers the case of the revolution will not be televised, a film that challenged major news media accounts of the 2002 venezuelan coup d' état attempt against hugo chavez. in her research, schiller traces revolution' s release and subsequent reception in new york and caracas, detailing the frame contest among activists, critics, and other political actors to define the film as either an important dissident perspective or a work of pro - chavez propaganda. as she observes :
the meaning of a film is shaped not only by its composition but by who is responsible for its circulation, when and where the film is screened, and the contextual information provided to the audience .
zoellner' s conclusion is as relevant to understanding the perception of revolution as it is to more recent debates over major releases such as an inconvenient truth and sicko .
sure. i think i needed to clarify that the decision to include the film and then to not include the film was very much a local decision that we didn’t feel we had the capacity to properly put the film in context and properly examine and respond to the film itself. we feel that it was an error for us to consider that film based on the lack of information that we had about the circumstances of the film. so that was very much a local decision by a small group of amnesty members that are part of our planning committee .

in conclusion, “the revolution will not be televised” helped gil scott - heron cement his title as “the godfather of rap” and the “inventor of rap” (the nation, new statesman). according to legendary public enemy member chuck d, scott - heron laid the groundwork for hip - hop mcs to “do what we do and how we do” (“the”). scott - heron’s “unique proto - rap vocal style” over “bare - bones arrangements featuring pounding basslines and stripped - down drumbeats” heavily influenced the culture of hip - hop and “set the stage for rap as a form of sociopolitical expression for the masses” (azpiri) (macarthur). aided by the use of slang, allusions, humor, and repetition, gil scott - heron’s “the revolution will not be televised” not only captured the feelings of a specific time in history, but helped forged the future as well .

repetition is probably the most obvious and arguably the strongest rhetorical device that scott - heron used the most in the poem. perhaps ironically, in the same way that advertisements constantly emphasize a single slogan, gil scott - heron repeats the song’s title – “the revolution will not be televised” – throughout the song. while many of his allusions act as denunciations, that specific line, as scott - heron has explained in interviews, captures the song’s message: “you have to change your mind before you change the way you live and the way you move… the thing that’s going to change people is something that no one will ever be able to capture on film. it will just be something you see and all of a sudden you realize, ‘i’m on the wrong page’” (rap genius) .
