DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org The Cuban Revolution was a successful armed revolt by Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement, which overthrew the US-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista on 1 January 1959, after over five years of struggle. "Our revolution is endangering all American possessions in Latin America. We are telling these countries to make their own revolution." — Che Guevara, October 1962 Castro later travelled to the United States to explain his revolution. He said, "I know what the world thinks of us, we are Communists, and of course I have said very clearly that we are not Communists; very clearly." Hundreds of suspected Batista-era agents, policemen and soldiers were put on public trial for human rights abuses and war crimes, including murder and torture. Most of those convicted in revolutionary tribunals of political crimes were executed by firing squad, and the rest received long prison sentences. One of the most notorious examples of revolutionary justice was the execution of over 70 captured Batista regime soldiers, directed by Raúl Castro after the capture of Santiago. For his part in Havana, Che Guevara was appointed supreme prosecutor in La Cabaña Fortress. This was part of a large-scale attempt by Fidel Castro to cleanse the security forces of Batista loyalists and potential opponents of the new revolutionary regime. Others were fortunate enough to be dismissed from the army and police without prosecution, and some high-ranking officials in ...

My first of a potential series, assuming I have time to regularly update. Hope this entertains and educates. EDUTAINMENT TO THE MAX. Here's a transcript in case you don't understand me and want to learn! "In 1952,former Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, ran for re-election but instead of waiting for the votes to be counted, decided to just stage a military coup. During his first presidency in 1940, he was progressive and passed social reforms, but during his 2nd presidency he was a military tyrant who installed a police state, executed thousands of political opponents, allowed the American Mafia to build casinos all over Havana, and was a pawn of US businesses, all the while the Cuban people lived in poverty. Then came this dude named Fidel Castro, who came from a prosperous family, went to private schools, and then studied law at the University of Havana. He became heavily involved in reform movements and was accused of a couple political assassinations but never proven guilty. DUN DUN DUNNNN. On July 26, 1953, Castro and around 100 rebels attacked the Moncada Barracks hoping to cause an uprising. It failed horribly, half the rebels got killed and Fidel got captured. There were many protests to free Castro and Batista hoped to gain favor with the people by releasing him. Stupid! Castro fled to Mexico to rebuild and reorganize. There he met up with Che Guevara and they formed the July 26 Movement. In 1956, they made it back into Cuba and setup basecamp in the Sierra ...

With Or Without Fidel is a groundbreaking documentary that features Cuba's leading politicians, intellectuals and dissidents, who debate the future direction of the island's 48 year-old revolution. How do Cubans feel about their own identity and freedom of speech? For the first time, the people of Cuba question the values that western democracy holds sacred and the price Cubans have paid for their independence. With Or Without Fidel is an extremely rare glimpse into the heart of Cuban society. While the BBC, CNN and other correspondents were expelled from the country, Rice N Peas Films were given unprecedented access to produce an honest portrayal of the island. Filmed during the most precarious period in Cuba's history, With or Without Fidel reveals the aspirations and vulnerabilities of a country on the brink of change. 29th June at 6.50 pm Tricycle Cinema, 269 Kilburn High Road, NW6.
