Fidel
In 1959, Fidel Castro's tiny band of rebels toppled a corrupt Cuban  dictatorship.  Forty years later, Castro remains in power, incredibly surviving a CIA-led  invasion, a missile crisis, eight assassination attempts, nine U.S. presidents and the fall of  his Soviet allies.  This riveting, hard-edged and intensely emotional drama traces the rise  of one of history's most intriguing and controversial figures - from a guerilla outpost to  the presidential palace.  Featuring a stellar cast and tightly woven script, FIDEL goes  behind the politics to offer up a rare personal portrait of a man driven relentlessly by his  convictions, his pride and his passions.  Ultimately, as portrayed by Victor Huggo  Martin, the legendary Fidel Castro proves very human, torn by his love for two women  and despairing that the idealism, charisma and will power that inspired a revolution could  not build the free and prosperous nation he had envisioned.
