Fidel Up Close

Directed by Eduardo Flores, Gabriel Beristain & Roberto Chile, 94 minutes, 2019, Spanish with English subtitles

There is probably no other protagonist of the 20th century who has been as much talked about and as studied as Fidel Castro and Fidel Up Close is already being lauded as “the definitive documentary on Fidel Castro”.

Fidel Up Close: An intimate portrait of Fidel Castro delves into the lesser known facets of Fidel Castro’s personal and intimate life from the perspective of those closest to him, including his children, close family members, collaborators, delegates, employees and some detractors.
