Fidel Castro Part 7: Che Guevara in the Jungle

Castro sets out to turn Cuba into an island of mini-Fidels.

Castro sets out to create a breed of 鈥渘ew people鈥 - turning Cuba into an island of mini-Fidels. A particular dairy cow becomes a national treasure and hot dog vendors are declared counter-revolutionary, as things get surreal. Fidel鈥檚 own sister flees, declaring Cuba a 鈥渇loating prison鈥. And as one of the dictator鈥檚 right-hand men is killed, the revolution will be rocked to its foundations鈥
