In January 1959 the rebel leader entered Cuba's capital city. The US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista had fled and Castro immediately set about establishing his left-wing revolution. Carlos Alzugaray was then a teenager, and one of thousands of people who turned out to greet him. He tells the story of this life-changing experience. First broadcast on Witness, 22 March 2016,
