My dad was in the 1945 Belen High School graduation class alongside Fidel Castro.

It was U S imperialism which gave birth to communist regime in Cuba .But the fact that Castro ensured basic necessities of health and education to Cubans should be appreciated.

The quality in these profiles is astonishing. The copy is exceptional. The stock photos, OK, but THE INFORMATION (which is what matters) is absolutely critical to the brilliance of this channel. Great job!

His proudest moment as a father was when his son became Prime Minister of Canada

Say what you want about Fidel, but this man had balls.Fought againts a military dictatorship with 50 men at the beginning and won, and faced the worlds strongest empire and survived its 600 assassination attempts, freaking Chad.

This beats the hell out of Netflix's much longer documentary series on Cuba, which lets CIA employees (not behind-the-scenes conspiracy style, I mean right there in front of the camera) tell the story.

I wish they had documentaries this well done when I was in school. Might have learned something.

This is yet another exceptional documentary from Peoples Profiles! I've listened to one each on George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, and now Fidel Castro thus far. I love the balanced presentations, the near-objectivity (no one can truly be objective) of these films, and the reliable information from them.

Free health care and education is a great thing

[tembandebele]

Despite the dictatorial tendencies that marred the rule of Fidel Castro l still feel that he was a better ruler than Batista. Notable areas of improvement where in education and health care. I should think that dictatorship was the way to go for Cuba with the threat of the USA at its doorstep. If he had tried to be democratic he could have been easily overthrown.

Free education (educates some fine doctors), free health care, helped in liberation of Souther Africa. Castro will never be forgotten

[alicewangui]

Please make one about Che Guevara. Yours is great stuff.

There's no way a country with an economy that struggles to feed it citizens that has quality free healthcare.

For such a small island nation, Cuba's contributions to the Global south is nothing short of spectacular. While the current apartheid regime was both learning from and aiding South African apartheid, Cuba was helping ANC. I would take Madiba's word for it. RIP Comandante! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I think the U.S. failed in Cuba as in Vietnam for not taking into consideration nationalism and sovereignty issues in this small nations that will prefer anything (like comunism) to becoming once again a sad colony ruled by an outside power in humiliation terms.

[rayBoogie]

The healthcare system in Cuba is in shambles. Mainly for lack of equipment, medicines, and supplies. Imagine going to a state-of-the-art hospital where the best doctors are working only to find out they don’t have the medicine you need, or even the syringe to deliver it.

[NOZZASLOADEDED]

Your videos would benefit greatly with more quotes and clips with sound to capture better the context of those moments in history

[davidelms]

You forgot to mention his relationship with the Trudeau's and his son Justin Castro 🤫

[gregrodriguez]

Why are people fanatical? Cuba's history is truly a sad history. Not one Cuban government change has benefited the actual Cuban people since 1959..! The Cuban government has maintained power for over 60 years. They have indoctrinated their own population with forced education of their own views, yet their own population prefers to leave and immigrate to any available country, besides their own..? Please don't comment on this unless you have actually live under this regime. It's obvious that the Cuban people want change. Even the hierarchy of the Cuban Government have defected throughout the decades... Fidel's own family live in the United States. Have you ever even asked yourself, why that is..?

A nationalist patriotic mastermind who liberated his people. viva castro sending love from gambia.
