gigabyte056 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I watched this movie simply since I am fascinated with history and was amazed at some of the ridiculous attempts made on Castro's life. Not the best documentary I have ever seen, but some of the people who are so much opposed to Castro are very fascinating and it always is amazing to see how much we grow to resemble the one we hate most. Movie synopses: In 1959, Fidel Castro overthrew the Fulgencio Batista led government of Cuba in a revolution. Soon afterward, the US government, alarmed at a communist nation so close to their shores, began working with Cuban exiles and others such as the Mafia and locals to find some way to assassinate the new Cuban leader. This movie depicts some of the 638 alleged attempts to do so, the native collaborators involved and how Castro's security successfully frustrated them all. In addition, the film illustrates the tumultuous relations between the nations over the decades and the disreputable Cuban characters who are prepared to horrific extremes to achieve their political aims with US complicity.
