Fidel background

Fidel

Fidel Castro, Cuba's influential leader, leaves politics behind for a week-long adventure with filmmaker Saul Landau, providing a unique opportunity to see his personality shine as they explore the Cuban countryside, enjoying humor and camaraderie with locals through impromptu baseball games.

Cuba's most polarizing leader, Fidel Castro, is showcased in a unique perspective in this film. In 1968, he embarked on a week-long jeep ride through the eastern mountains with filmmaker and activist Saul Landau. The trip featured Fidel engaging in everyday activities, such as playing baseball with peasants and visiting his pre-school. He also traded jokes with a 98-year-old man and listened to concerns about food distribution, roads, and transportation.
