This documentary by Estela Bravo will give you a true perspective of Fidel Castro like you've never seen before—the people who loved him, the countries he helped, the dignitaries he met, and the unbelievable demonization he received by the United States up until this very day. At one point, Castro sent 36,000 Cuban troops to Angola to help in their revolution. He never claimed to be a Communist (he believes in God) but did receive financial aid from Soviet Russia. He did practice socialism and provided free healthcare, education, and many children's schools, hospitals, and other public services to the people of Cuba. Many world leaders honored him, including Nelson Mandela, who invited Castro to South Africa, because Castro was instrumental in helping to fight against Apartheid. In the film Castro is honored by many celebrities like Harry Bellefonte, Mohammed Ali, Alice Walker, and Angela Davis, to name a few.
