Product Description:
Whether dismissed as a relic or revered as a savior, all agree that Fidel Castro, nearing 44 years as the leader of Cuba, is one of the most influential and controversial figures of our time. Rarely are Americans given a chance to see inside the world of this socialist leader. The new documentary film FIDEL by Estela Bravo offers a unique opportunity to view the man through exclusive interviews with Castro himself, historians, public figures and close friends, with rare footage from the Cuban State archives.

Alice Walker, Harry Belafonte, and Sydney Pollack discuss Fidel as a person, while former and current US government figures including Arthur Schlesinger, Ramsey Clark, Wayne Smith, Congressman Charles Rangel and a former CIA agent offer political and historical perspectives on Castro and the long-standing US embargo against Cuba. Family members and close friends, including Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, offer a window into the rarely seen personal life of Fidel.

Bravo's camera captures Fidel Castro swimming with bodyguards, visiting his childhood home and school, joking with Nelson Mandela, Ted Turner and Muhammad Ali, meeting Elian Gonzalez, and celebrating his birthday with members of the Buena Vista Social Club. Juxtaposing the personal anecdotal with history of the Cuban revolution and the fight to survive the post-Soviet period, FIDEL tells a previously untold story and presents a new view of this compelling figure.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A rare appraisal... clearly intended to balance the predominant view of Castro...
First off I have to say I agree with another viewer, when he wrote, "... This documentary shows a perspective not often represented by the mainstream media and I appreciated it very much." I cannot think of a single world leader who made a mark in history that hasn't done both good and awful things along the way... but that doesn't mean, ideological opponent or not, that we should denigrate major accomplishments, like deposing a hopelessly corrupt regime, providing a nation with social services and ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fidel: The Untold Story
Very good film, everyone should be able to see both the bad side of Fidel which we read about in our history books and see in the media, and the good which I got to see for the first time in this film. Only then can we draw our own conclusions and stop being puppets who only believe what the media wants us to believe. Very insightful movie and very easy to understand.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Obvious Bias and Agenda
The video is totally onesided and ignores tons of facts to show Fidel as a romantic revolutionary hated by a select few.All the people interviewed are either of the Castro family or the people that benefited from his regime. It also paints the exile cubans as a small extremist minority in Miami. A huge point totally ignored is the fact that his own daughter defected to the United States and is one of his strongest protesters. I was born in the United States and both of my Parents are from Cuba. It was ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - True Propaganda.
This movie was somewhat astounding to me as, from the very beginning, it makes a point of depicting Fidel Castro in the kindest of lights. We see him as a man and a man alone which, frankly, is not an honest way to portray him. Certainly, humanizing him is appropriate as a human being is exactly what this mass murderer is, but to treat him as an underdog is to miss the real point of his reign--regardless of what Harry Belafonte might think. The increased poverty and suffering of the Cuban population that ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Misleading, Inaccurate and Grossly Distorts the Truth
Being an American myself who has actually visited Cuba within the last year, I find the other reviews of this documentary to be completely misguided. Like them, I first saw this documentary and believed that Castro wasn't actually such a bad guy, but that the U.S. and Cuban exiles were biased and portrayed him as a monster. When I met several Cuban exiles who emotionally told me the stories of how they had their houses taken away by Castro and how their parents were tortured and placed in rat-infested prisons ...
