John provided a brief background introduction to put the film in context, and after the film, answered several questions from the audience. Several in the audience were visibly moved by the film. A representative of the Cuban government in New Zealand came to the event and congratulated John on the presentation and film, saying he had "learned a lot". Another person in attendance said afterward that the event had "put fire in his belly". As the world economic crisis begins to affect every corner of the planet, inculding New Zealand, the revolution in Venezuela takes on even greater importance.
