Plot Summary
Academy-Award winning director, Oliver Stone delivers a candid, in-depth conversation with one of the most controversial world leaders of our time, Fidel Castro. Stone challenges Castro to explain actions following the execution of three political dissidents who attempted to hijack a ferry to the United States in April 2003. Castro's response and his actions were condemned worldwide, further isolating Cuba. Stone was given unprecedented access, interviewing not only Castro, but many of the prisoners, their wives, leading dissidents and human rights advocates -- all of whom express their views forcefully in the emotionally charged environment of Cuba today. Whether or not you accept Castro´s world view, Stone´s tough but fair portrait helps to illuminate Cuba's unique and complicated place in the world. Is Castro a moral leader defending his small island against a superpower or is he an ironfisted tyrant who tolerates no criticism? Or is the truth somewhere in between?

EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS MOVIE
This is an excellent movie/interview of Fidel Castro along with the emphasis on the issues of political dissidents. It is enlightening and thank you to Stone for directing this movie. It is only unfortunate that it has not been seen by many in the American public and others, but I am not surprised as Stone manages to get straight and direct replies to all of his questions which is rare when it comes to leaders and concerning the truth about American politics. Fidel is a very intriguing personality and this movie explains why Cuba is the way it is in many ways.
