rainermack's rating
A disappointing documentary. Very unbalanced in terms of point of view. Very much from a US perspective (though apparently a German production?). It is missing dissenting voices and voices from within Cuba. Absence of attention on US policy in Latin America and, especially, the impact of the US embargo on Cuba is egregious. The story is simply not complete without this. European scholars provide the most balanced points of view on the history. The bias becomes most clear in the last 2-3 episodes, though with hindsight the relatively cavalier treatment of Batista is clear. Can not recommend this documentary. Read Julia Sweig's What Everybody Needs to Know about Cuba instead.
