The Cuba Libre Story

I took off 1 star because most of the series covers from 1900 to the present and I wish they had spent more time on earlier history. Also they mostly focused on rural Cuba and ignored Havana.

Overall I still I thought this series was very informative because they talked to a lot of people who were there at the time. That means you don't have to just rely on historians to tell you what they think. They interview Cubans on the island as well as in exile - that is as fair and objective as you can get. Maybe the people that think this series is biased shouldn't assume the subtitles catch everything and give it to you verbatim.

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.

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

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.

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!!???
