Looking For Fidel

2004, 82 minutes, Rated M

In spring 2003, following a wave of hijackings, three hijackers were arrested, tried and executed in Cuba. At almost the same time, the government also arrested, convicted and imprisoned more than 75 political dissidents (including several independent journalists) for as long as 25 years.

For the first time since his government cracked down last year, Fidel Castro speaks out on why Cuba has dealt so harshly with those it considers a threat. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone, LOOKING FOR FIDEL highlights provocative conversations with Castro about George Bush, Iraq and other major international topics, providing an in-depth portrait of this iconic and iconoclastic leader and his country.
