Comandante is a captivating and gripping political documentary which intimately profiles iconic Cuban leader Fidel Castro. It is an illuminating insight into one of history’s most fascinating and charismatic figures.

Based on three days of filming in Cuba in 2002, director Oliver Stone edited down more than 30 hours of interviews and conversations to provide a candid and provocative portrait of Castro. Stone films Castro working at his office, touring a medical school and a museum, and follows him through the streets where he mingles freely with Cuban citizens. The film shows Castro as an engaging and intelligent leader – and looks beyond the familiar beard, cigar and military fatigues – as he discusses a range of topics: the Cuban revolution and his rise to power, the Cuban missile crisis, Playa Giron (the Bay of Pigs), the U.S blockade, the assassination of JFK and Che Guevara.

This film is essential viewing for all those interested in the Cuba, the Cuban Revolution and one of history’s most interesting figures.
