The Cuba Libre Story

A very interesting documentary, well researched and rather seamlessly delivered!!

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!!???

The lease is available online. It is not a long document. The standard cover story for the US is repeated. For example, that the lease is perpetual. That the rent is some 4000 a year. There is no excuse for not reading the lease and seeing what the actual terms are. A careful review undercuts the US claim that it occupies Guantanamo legally, unfortunately.

As the title says. I was born in Cuba in 1989, so don't tell me I know nothing because I do. This documentary is very well made, and is up to you whether you understand the point they are making or not. I love History and I love Fidel Castro so don't get me wrong. I have read Cuban history books, and I had the pleasure of having great professors from kindergarten all the way through my years in the University of Havana. I lived 26 years in Las Tunas and my mom has a MD in Economics and taught me about Marx, Lenin and Castro. I have lived on both sides of the country and have seen things first hand, if you didn't like it because it didn't match your views or your reckoning, get your facts together and go and read "El diario del Che en Bolivia", "La historia me absolverá" and "La edad de oro", oh, and also some history book written for the kids in the fifth grade, then you will see the documentary is not that bad after all.
