"Fidel," an award-winning documentary by Cuban-American journalist, Estella Bravo, is a portrait of the Cuban leader. The film spans a period of 40 years from Castro's early childhood and college days to his Presidency of Cuba and includes interviews with Harry Belafonte, Nelson Mandela, Alice Walker, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, Sydney Pollock, and others.

Released from prison after serving two years of a fifteen-year sentence, Castro took a ragtag army of volunteers and recruited farmers, women, and working people into the mountains to fight a decade-long guerilla war that led to the overthrow of American-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista and the victorious Cuban Revolution of 1959. (91min., 2001)
