Comandante [DVD]

zone 2

Filmmaker Oliver Stone interviewed Cuban leader Fidel Castro for over 30 hours in February 2002 to collect footage for this hour-and-a-half-long documentary, which was premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. The two men discuss topics including the US trade embargo, the Cuban missile crisis in October 1962, and Cuba’s situation in the world today. Communist leader Castro, who has ruled Cuba for more than 45 years, gets the nickname ‘Comandante’ from his military rank.
