Cuba Documentary

I don't know if anyone here has seen the Oliver Stone documentary on Castro and Cuba, but it was recently on Canadian television apparently. Here is the link to watch it:

1. I saw it on CBC

While I enjoyed it, I thought Stone was too soft on Fidel. No real tough questions. Even CBC admitted in the show's introduction.

HBO didn't show it for that reason and sent Stone back for a sequel.

I'm against the USA's Cuban embargo, but let's not make a hero out of Fidel. There's not much freedom for the Cuban people. He does not tolerate dissidents.

2. Yeah, shit, can't go treating Fidel like Bush get's treated.

That would be dishonest.
