Click on the links below to see the 9-part video, "Fidel – A Documentary by Estela Bravo".

Regarding all the parts: you must click on each link below, in order, to see the entire documentary.

Regarding the first part, after the credits, there is a brief monologue by Fidel (with excellent English subtitles) which should not be missed. Then there follows about two minutes of music and the opening presentation by "Magazine of the World" – which detracts from the documentary. At approximately 3:50 into the video, the first part of "Fidel – A Documentary by Estela Bravo" begins.

It is a true history, told with historical photographs, an irresistible narrative, and numerous personal testaments.

I have a law degree (Stanford, 66') but have never practiced. Instead, from 1967 through 1977, I tried to contribute to the revolution in America. As unsuccessful as everyone else over that decade, in 1978 I went to work for the U.S. Forest (more...)
