Crisis in Venezuela: An Uncertain Future (full documentary) - PBS Frontline
Feb 10, 2026 #NicolásMaduro #DelcyRodríguez #Venezuela
What comes next for Venezuela after the Trump administration’s dramatic capture of Nicolás Maduro?
[...]
In “Crisis in Venezuela,” FRONTLINE and The Associated Press investigate President Trump’s long campaign to topple Maduro, the legacy of corruption in Venezuela, the challenges to democracy and the fight over who will control the oil-rich South American country.
The documentary probes Venezuela’s uncertain future and the Maduro regime insiders who’ve been left in charge while opposition leader María Corina Machado remains in exile. Those insiders include Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez — who, the AP found, has been on the radar of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for years.
It also examines the Trump administration’s relationship with Rodríguez and its approach to democracy in Venezuela in the aftermath of Maduro’s capture.

The writers are Jeff Arak & Juan Ravell. The producer is Jeff Arak. The director is Juan Ravell. The senior producers are Dan Edge and Eamonn Matthews.

Here's a link to PBS's official webpage for this episode, with bonus supplemental material.
Back in 2008, I watched another Frontline episode about Hugo Chávez centered around his silly-yet-official TV talk show Aló Presidente. PBS uploaded it on YouTube around the same time the "Crisis in Venezuela" episode premiered. The 2008 show is about 90 minutes.
