Moments with Fidel (2004)

Synopsis of Moments with Fidel

Communist leader Fidel Castro began ruling the island of Cuba as a Prime Minister in 1959, and subsequently held court well into the 21st century - a 55+ year period that witnessed not only Castro's popular election as president by the Cuban people (c. 1976) and his successful decision to reslate Cuba's role as a global force after the collapse of the Iron Curtain, but - on a darker note - over 600 assassination attempts on Castro's life, all of which he cunningly survived. For her compilation film Moments with Fidel, director Rebecca Chavez assembles nearly an hour of archival film clips and audio material, depicting the highlights of Castro's personal life and illustrious political career. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
