Fidel Up Close, which includes rare archive footage not seen before, touches on Fidel's unique role in history and his contribution to shaping Cuba into a new society, which today remains committed to education and healthcare for all,  social equality and internationalism

 Fidel - Up Close 
 
Mae'r ffilm wobrwyedig hon yn rhaglen ddogfen fywiog a diddorol sy'n taflu goleuni ar 
fywyd Fidel Castro o safbwynt y rhai sydd agosaf ato. 

Mae'n cwmpasu blynyddoedd cynnar Fidel, ei rôl ochr yn ochr â Che Guevara yn y frwydr 
yn erbyn unbennaeth Batista, buddugoliaeth y Chwyldro a'i arweinyddiaeth mewn gwlad sy'n 
benderfynol o adeiladu cymdeithas sosialaidd, yn wyneb ymosodedd a dadsefydlogi di-baid yr Unol Daleithiau. 
 
Mae Fidel Up Close, sy'n cynnwys lluniau archif prin nas gwelwyd o'r blaen, 
yn cyffwrdd â rôl unigryw Fidel mewn hanes a'i gyfraniad at lunio Ciwba yn gymdeithas newydd, 
sydd heddiw yn parhau i fod yn ymrwymedig i addysg a gofal iechyd i bawb, cydraddoldeb cymdeithasol a rhyngwladoldeb. 
 
Bydd y Cyfarwyddwr, Eduardo Flores Torres, yn ymuno â ni am drafodaeth ar ôl y ffilm.
