The Fidel Castro Tapes

"The Fidel Castro Tapes" features rarely- and never-before-seen images to tell the life story of the controversial leader of Cuba.

To some an icon of resistance and to others the very face of dictatorial oppression, Fidel Castro was one of the most provocative political figures of the 20th century. The Fidel Castro Tapes chronicles how his drive and charisma catapulted him to power in Cuba and how he used these traits to maintain control of his country for nearly five decades and capture the attention of the world.
