About the Men of War documentary

Men of War explores the real events of May 2020, when roughly 60 Venezuelan dissidents and two former US Green Berets attempted to enter Venezuela by boat to oust Nicolás Maduro from power. The mission was led by ex-Green Beret and private military contractor Jordan Goudreau, who styled himself as a real-life action hero but soon became the center of an international fiasco.

The film features exclusive interviews, including conversations with political strategist J.J. Rendón, prison recordings of retired Venezuelan General Cliver Alcalá Cordones, and behind-the-scenes documentation of the fallout, ranging from FBI surveillance to Interpol notices and civil lawsuits.

Prior to the documentary’s TIFF debut, Neon’s EVP of nonfiction, Dan O’Meara, explained why Men of War appealed to the company. On August 19, 2025, he exclusively told Variety:

“Every part of [Goudreau’s] project felt ill-conceived and impossible, They approached [Venezuela] by boat, and that boat broke down. There also were not that many guys involved. Everybody was wondering, ‘What were these guys thinking?

He further said:

''How could they have thought that they were going to get away with this, and at whose behest?’ Jordan was made this laughing stock. As it turns out, he was working for and had been hired by very powerful people in the Venezuelan opposition party, and he was in touch with the White House.''

Dan O’Meara added that Goudreau believed he had the tacit backing of the Trump administration:

''Mike Pence’s people were giving [Goudreau] the tacit wink-wink like, ‘If this all works out, you will have our support.’ Jordan was also in touch with Keith Schiller, Trump’s former bodyguard. So, he believed at the time that he was undertaking a project that had the blessing of the Trump administration.”

Beyond the spectacle, Men of War sheds light on the deeper political ties surrounding the coup.
