It's a sympathetic and affectionate portrayal of Cuba and of Castro, which in the rabid anti-Castro atmosphere of American media makes it a rare and fascinating document � an inverse portrait of US disinformation and censorship.

It's a conventional biopic of Castro's life � starting with the usual old photographs and an account of his schooling, continuing with his involvement  in student politics at the University of Havana (during a period of intense repression by the Batista government), and finally following his career as armed insurgent, successful revolutionary, and popular leader.

What makes it highly unconventional � almost breath-taking at times � is that it covers the life of a socialist revolution as well as of a famous man, and that it treats a much-maligned and demonized country and character with respect and affection.

This in turn illuminates for the American viewer how pervasive and complete is the anti-Cuba propaganda campaign in the US.
