The Coup Nobody Talks About

In June 2009, Honduras experienced a dramatic turning point in its democracy. President Manuel Zelaya was ousted by the military at dawn, flown out of the country in his pajamas.

His push for a referendum on constitutional reform set off a storm of opposition — from Congress, the courts, and the armed forces. What followed was a coup condemned around the world. But the story was largely buried in international headlines, overshadowed by Michael Jackson’s death just three days earlier.

This video looks at how the coup reshaped Honduran politics, why it received so little coverage, and what it reveals about democracy’s fragility in Central America.
