Cuba and the Cameraman

I had been in Cuba for a family holiday just after Fidel Castro died. I saw some people who hate Fidel, and also others who are proud of Fidel. I think Jon Alpert succeeded to show people from both sides. He also shows some human side of Fidel via private interviews.

The story of the three brothers and the sister is so heartbreaking. They are so nice people and I wished to be with them to help and share all their feelings.

It was a 45-year real story of the people. I think Jon Alpert did a great job.

One of the Greatest documentaries i've ever Seen. excellent insight into Cuba as how the country survived through thick thin.

Really great stuff from Alpert about Cuba and his relationship with Fidel. Castro definitely uses Alpert in a funny human way for his own sake but there seems to be a friendly relationship between the two which makes this documentary very interesting to watch without judging about his political signature

I don't expect that Mr. Jon Alpert will cover every expect of Cuban revolution or its outcome that affects Cuban people politically, economically or socially. So I have enjoyed this documentary from other part of the world with warm heart for the characters here. I got emotional for three farmer brothers. Beautiful people there in Cuba and Mr. Alpert is also amazing with his beautiful mind and effort. Thank you for showing the world something that nobody seen before.

Some of the reviews on here that were negative are from people saying you're glorifying communism??? Are you kidding me.... The filmmaker is showing all aspects of Cuba over the years. And in more retrospect the Cuban people. I assume the negative reviews are from Americans who don't understand the history of Cuba how Cuba was being totally exploited during the time the Americans were there and had been exploited by different cultures and other countries over their entire history. Having been to Cuba's several times I see the poverty I see that things haven't really been changed but I also see a resilient wonderful people who adopt a change. Nobody stars and everyone has a place to live I'll be at not a very good place for most. Think what you want about Castro and communism But condemning a documentary because it actually shows what went on during all those different years just shows your ignorance towards world history and Cuban history.
