Back in May of 2020, a few ex-Green Berets and about 60 Venezuelans tried to overthrow the government of President Nicolas Maduro. The plan was a mess from the beginning, and it ended in a spectacular failure. VICE News reporter Ben Makuch and producer Miguel Fernández Flores investigate who was behind the plan and how it ended so disastrously.
