TV series documentary. In May 2003, after a tumultuous period in which the Cuban government cracked down on over 75 dissidents and executed three hijackers, Fidel Castro allowed award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone into his country for a series of candid interviews. The result is a rare, honest and up-close look at Castro at a critical juncture in Cuba's history as the country deals with widespread unrest amidst Castro's return to the heavy-handed tactics that brought him to power back in 1959.
