In May 2020, just weeks after the Trump administration placed a $15 million bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, approximately 60 Venezuelan dissidents, including two former U.S. Green Berets attempted to reach Venezuela by boat in an effort to remove Maduro from power. Leading the mission was former Green Beret and private military contractor Jordan Goudreau, who branded himself as a real-life action hero and found himself at the center of an international political crisis. Filming began within days of the failed coup, with unprecedented access to all sides of the story -- from exclusive prison recordings of retired Venezuelan General Cliver Alcalá Cordones to interviews with J.J. Rendón, strategist to Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó. As the cameras rolled, the fallout spread across courtrooms and borders, with federal indictments, civil lawsuits, Interpol notices, and FBI surveillance.
