Fidel - Documentary

Fidel Castro's has been an amazing life. Communism was the ideology that helped Fidel and Che to bring about a revolution which was necessary for that region. Though Communism did not help sustain it and Fidel has had to change his ideology many times as seen in the documentary. Fidel himself thinks he will be remembered as a David that fought Goliath (America). But unlike Latin America most parts of the world do not see America as a Goliath and that is not reason enough to impress the world. But I am impressed that he sustained freedom and independence not only for Cuba but also helped attain independence for may Latin American countries and African countries. It is ironical that Fidel threw out a dictator to become one but under the circumstances Cuba might not have had a choice. At the end of the day Fidel comes across as a remarkable man and a good man who did whatever he can to bring freedom and a sense of pride to many marginalized people across the globe. Fidel Castro needs to stand amongst the likes of Gandhi, Mandela, and Martin Luther King some day.
