Fidel The Untold Story

A movie about Fidel Castro the dictator of Cuba. From his childhood of sugarcane farmer to his studies as a student and his imprisonment from trying to overthrow the US sanctioned dictator Batista. Leaving Cuba for Mexico to gain support for the overthrow of Batista to actually doing it and what he has done for Cuban people. The relationship with Soviet Union during the cold war and the bay of pigs disaster to overthrow him and the Elian Gonzalez times.The movie is very powerful in both ways of the good and bad of Fidel Castro what the blockade of the U.S.A has done to Cuba and how Fidel set up agreements with Canada and other European and African countries such as South Africa and Namibia which he helped liberate during Apartheid. He went to Harlem during a trip to the United Nations and met Malcolm X and the Actors and others from America that have met him.Castro is a man who has stood by his convictions as a revelatory and a socialist for over 51 years and still stands by them. The movie is very well put together with opinions from both sides and the footage of Fidel is very powerful in some parts. Edited really well to fit the story at certain times the Director made a very good argument on both sides and stayed neutral it seems throughout the movie.....
