A very interesting documentary, well researched and rather seamlessly delivered!!
This documentary is a great portray of Cuba's History until 1959. Then it is just a propaganda from the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 9 out of 10 commentators are CIA Agents or Cuban Exiles. For them Castro is just another one dictator who destroyed Cuba's economy (the Batista's casino-mafia economy) and oppress his own people. Of course I would have the same opinion if my family cooperated with mafia, Batista's corrupted officers and US Companies. There is no serious judgement about the US embargo which destroyed Cuban Economy and deprived basic medical and drugs supplies to the Cuban people. Moreover, they don't either judge the Bay of Pigs Invasion, a direct US invasion to an independent nation and its President, so as to protect the interests of their multinational companies (ITT, United Fruit, Francisco Sugar Company, Bethlehem Steel Corporation etc). Moreover, this "documentary" don't even judges the assassinations attempts from the CIA to Castro (they comment the excessive number of the rumored assassinations and not that a foreign country tried to kill a President of a foreign State). Finally, they don't even bother refer to Cuba's medical and educational system (both systems are considered as top quality systems globally) or any other facts about the Cuban economy from 1959. Let me refer that, there isn't any homeless Cuban citizen, there aren't any more the Batista's era slums, the child mortality is the lowest globally, the life span is even higher than the US', and there isn't any unemployment. In general, this is a shameless, ahistorican, anti-socialist propaganda from Netflix.
As a student of history I found this series to be very beneficial in understanding the history and culture of Cuba. I disagree with the other review that claims that this narrative is one sided. The events in Cuban history are detailed and explained which helps the viewer to understand what brought Cuba to the point it is today. As there long struggle is explained, one can see that Cuba still has a long way to go to really become free. Yes, Castro was no hero and was a dictator who murdered thousands and turned on many of his friends. To leave that out would do Cuba an injustice. Hopefully we can see the day when we have normal relations with the island nation as this older generation of leaders in Cuba die off and American Presidents don't feel the need to "politicize" the issue of Cuba, and reverse progress toward normalization like Trump did.
Unfortunately it is far away being objective...Poor one sided American narrative based on mostly exile Cuban accounts: The revolution in Cuba is almost a coincedence, Castro brothers are bloody dictators, USA "only" tried to protect their financial interest, the bad Soviet guys did not wait for a sec to cooperatw with evil Cuba. A waste of time unless you are interested in propoganda movies.
The way this series protraits the revolution and the histroy of cuba will make you feel like its just another American propoganda. Except cuban historians, all other western historians are their to tell you about cuba and also, no one seems to care about the American intervention.
You should ask yourself before you start to watch this series, why netflix is showing just the cuban revolution of all other revolutions and struggles in the world!!???
