From the film promotion: ‘Whether dismissed as a relic or revered as a savior, all agree that Fidel Castro, nearing 44 years as the leader of Cuba, is one of the most influential and controversial figures of our time.

The film features interviews with Fidel Castro and friends and family, Phillip Agee, Muhammad Ali, Harry Belafonte, Ramsey Clark, Angela Davis, Elián González, Nelson Mandela, Gabriel García Márquez, Ted Turner and Alice Walker.

Film review by Joanne Bealy, February 2003
‘After previewing the film, I have only one piece of advice: see it. Really. It makes no difference whether you’re for or against Castro, Estela Bravo presents us with a piece of history that we owe it to ourselves to see. Estela Bravo’s ‘Fidel’ is the definitive word to date on Castro…’
