The Fidel Castro Tapes is a film that takes viewers on a journey like none other. This program uses news and documentary footage -- past and present -- to help detail the life and times of one of the most controversial political figures of the 20th Century. In part, The Fidel Castro Tapes relies on the words of journalists who covered the major events in Castro's life to tell the story. It is a unique approach, one that gives the viewer a chance to experience the life and times of Cuba's leader as if they were actually living through them.
