- The article is a nice read, and appears well-sourced and worded. Can't think of much to improve, although I admit as a film buff, I'd be intrigued by more detail about the production, which companies aired it, who exactly funded and produced the film, and such things. I think the hook is a nice start but strained in wording. For example, it is strange to compare a nation to a city. Brainstorming, here are some alternatives:
- "that Exxon's 1956 propaganda film Assignment: Venezuela sought to convince American oil workers that Venezuela, then controlled by the anti-capitalist military dictatorship of Marcos Perez Jimenez, had embraced the American way of life?"
- "that the 1956 propaganda film Assignment: Venezuela was shown to American oil workers to entice them to move to Venezuela?"
- '"that to convince Americans to move to Venezuela as workers in the country's burgeoning oil industry, the 1956 propaganda film Assignment: Venezuela focused on the similarities between America and Venezuela?"
- "that the 1956 propaganda film Assignment: Venezuela, shown to American oil workers to convince them to move to Venezuela, was later spoofed by Mystery Science Theater 3000?"
