A monumental history of the Cuban Revolution; from the initial meeting in Mexico between Che and Fidel Castro, through the landing by boat of a few desperadoes, the years of the guerrilla campaign, the gradual build-up from a rag-tag band to a fully fledged revolutionary army, the political alliances and decisions to be made, and the eventual victorious battles over the demotivated Batista led government army.

THIRTEEN DAYS (2001)
Certification12 Our Rating
Gripping dramatization of the goings on in the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis, revealing how close the American military were to starting World War 3 after the Soviets responded to the placement of first strike nuclear weapons in Turkey by trying to place them in Cuba. As the world teetered on the nuclear brink a small number of White House aides fought off the majority view, and peace prevailed as Kennedy capitulated and agreed the withdrawal of US weapons from Turkey. Excellent.
