N2  - The son of a scarcely educated farmer, Fidel Castro fought the United States, brought the planet to the brink of nuclear war, and has survived into old age in a society he turned upside down. This documentary presents the remarkable biography of Cuba's leader, from his law school days as a young political activist through his standoff with President Kennedy over the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban missile crisis up to the present day. The program uses a variety of newsreel footage and interviews with Castro's daughter, fellow revolutionaries, and American, British and Soviet political advisors and scholars. Salient commentary provides insights into the psychology as well as the diplomacy of the man who has ruled Cuba for over forty years
