In 1959, Fidel Castro's tiny band of rebels toppled a corrupt Cuban dictatorship. Over 40 years later, Castro remains in power, incredibly surviving a CIA-led invasion, a missile crisis, eight assassination attempts, nine U.S. presidents and the fall of his Soviet allies.

This hard-edged drama traces the rise of one of history's most intriguing and controversial figures - from guerrilla outpost to the presidential palace. FIDEL goes behind the politics to offer a rare personal portrait of a man driven relentlessly by his convictions, his pride and his passions.

Fidel , played by Victor Huggo Martin, proves very human, torn by his love for two women and despairing that the idealism, charisma and will power that inspired a revolution could not build the free and prosperous nation he had envisioned.
