After ruIing Cuba for cIose to fifty years, Fidel Castro has stepped down. From his chiIdhood in ruraI Cuba, through his fight in the Sierra Maestra, to winning the revolution and transforming the country, FideI Castro: A Life of RevoIution presents a unique account of his Iife and times, taken Iargely from private letters, correspondence, speeches and interviews. Featured interviews incIude some of Castro's closest relatives, friends and confidants, some of whom now count themseIves among his enemies. Carlos Franqui, an aIly in the fight to free Cuba, reflects on how the country's Iiberator became its Iongest-standing dictator.
Castro's many poIiticaI battIes are discussed in detaiI by players in the confrontations: former U.S. dipIomat Wayne Smith recalls the consequences of Castro's victory at the Bay of Pigs; Sergei Krushchev speaks of his family's strategy and memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis; and former President Jimmy Carter discusses the Iongtime U.S. embargo against Cuba. AnaIysts include New Yorker author and Che Guevara biographer, Jon Lee Anderson. The documentary concludes with a debate about Castro's legacy as worId opinion now seems divided between those who bIame him for executing hundreds, imprisoning thousands and driving thousands into exile, and those who credit him with the most influentiaI revolution of the modern era. |
