Fidel Castro: Maximum Leader

Forty years after his emergence as the Robin Hood of Cuba, Fidel Castro has found himself on the wrong side of history. Using compelling archival footage, this program critically examines the single-minded idealism of a lifelong rebel. All of the milestones that have shaped Castro’s Cuba are documented—from his ousting of Batista, to his policy of brinkmanship with the U.S., to his ruinous economic reforms in the face of decades of embargo and the loss of Russian rubles. But as times continue to change, Cuba is experiencing a thaw, with a revival of tourism and a renewed tolerance of the Catholic faith. Isolated and aging, will Castro finally lower the flag of his revolution? (53 minutes)
