Official Trailer for ‘Men of War’ Doc Film About a Venezuela Invasion

“I had the military in place, all we needed to do was coordinate.” Neon has revealed a new official trailer for a documentary film titled Men of War, a fascinating and unsettling look at a rogue military dude who tried to invade Venezuela and overthrow the government. Yes this really happened a few years ago. The film first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year and will be out on VOD to watch next week – I guess they’re capitalizing on the recent real world news about the US getting involved in Venezuela again. A former U.S. Green Beret is recruited to remove Venezuela’s president and after the mission fails, he is pursued by the government he faithfully served. For some reason the FBI goes after him. This riveting doc film Men of War chronicles the astonishing true story of what was called Operation Gideon—which is the failed 2020 coup attempt in Venezuela—and the covert network of ex-generals, mercenaries, and political operatives behind it.
