I watched this with utter amazement at the inconceivably sympathetic treatment of a monster.
SHOWTIME obviously has no limits lately. How about a REAL HISTORY of the HORRORS which Castro bestowed upon Cubans?
Castro jailed and assassinated anyone who did not agree with him. The numbers of individuals who were "removed" for even thinking something different from him is legendary.
This program was no doubt well acted. The main characters were mostly presented in basically recognizable fashion. What was totally comical was the use of Mexican citizens of obvious indigenous descent as extras in some scenes. If anything, there should have been more African descendants used - which is now closer to the truth after a large number of the Spanish descended citizens have moved to the United States.
I watched this program with tears in my eyes. Knowing that this was the man that robbed Cuba of it's true freedom.
How can Fidel be portrayed as truthfully saying that his revolution has been successful if thousands attempt to flee the island continually in view of shark infested waters?
The Story of Fidel and Cuba has not been told with this program. For that - my vote is quite low.
