Fidel background

Fidel

Fidel Castro, a rising star in the legal world, seizes power in Cuba, ushering in a socialist era that forever alters the nation's trajectory.

The film tells the story of Fidel Castro's rise to power in Cuba, from his early life as a respected lawyer to his transformation into a power-hungry leader. The narrative follows his personal life, including his marriage, child, and extramarital affair, which was motivated by his political ambitions. Castro's journey takes him from being imprisoned and expelled from the country to leading a guerrilla movement in the jungle and eventually seizing power. Once in power, he eliminates his opponents and suppresses dissent. Despite his immense popularity, the film glosses over the anti-Castro movement and the Cuban missile crisis, leaving many questions unanswered about the years that follow.
