Ya I figure that its usual for a bourgieousie production. BTW, that scene with the guy on the roof is from I Am Cuba which is a really great movie.

[Tower of Bebel]

Damn, i expected a helpful list :(

It's seriously pathetic how much and how often they attempted to murder Castro.

... given he, nor his Cuban beaurocratic state are not a threat to US finance capital, only their regional expansionism.

[Manifesto]

Thats more fails than with Hitler.

[mykittyhasaboner]

Yes, I saw it on tv once. It was actually particularly informative. They played it right after Cuba: An African Odyssey, another good film.

It was great to see a documentory that actually made the discusting anti-castro exilers, look like total twats. I have nothing against cuban exiles, but when you have people who talk like cuban nationalists, yet bomb planes full of cubans, and then get paid by the US government to live a life of near luxuary, it does boil my blood a little bit.

The best thing about this is that castro will now probably die as a result of nature taking its course, instead of the USA getting the 'properganda coup' of assasinating him.

[Manifesto]

Is it this Sunday? Or is it just in Canada, because Ice Road Truckers is on.

[RotStern]

But I think its on at 10:00 on CNN or CBC??
But Canada has a different History than America.
Check it out.

Great movie, even better because it is free!

This came on CBC in Canada. Passionate eye documentaries are always good.

639: Old-age. Damn you CIA!

Seriously - this is why I don't believe conspiracy theories about the US government's power to control events. The US power is in brute strength and military might - they've always been shit at covert things (like giving the go-ahead for failed coups in Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela and so on - which they then back away from when it fails). If the US repeatedly bungled attempts to overthrow Castro, how could they arrange the JFK assassination or 9/11 or the moon landing? Seriously, if they could orchestrate these things, we'd all be saying - "that was sad when JFK was killed by a mysterious exploding pigeon that flew into his head".

I love the Mark Steel Lecture on Che where he talks about the US trying to put explosives in a sea shell they thought would be particularly appealing to Castro who would then pick it up and explode (maybe holding up a sign that says "YIPE" just at the point that he realizes there's a bomb inside). I also like his description of Castro - even in informal settings - giving 4 hour monologues; and how one day (after a lifetime of marathon speeches) Castro could finish a 6 hour address to Cuba and say: "well that's enough about me, why not tell me a little about yourself".

I havent been able to view this movie in the US. I had searched for its showing over a period of time. I finally purchased it.

Castro has been exceptional at making the US government look like bumbling idiots. Viva La Poppa Fidel!
