Garcia is a retired M-26-7 rebel from Fidel Castro’s rebel group and a sugar farmer. Over time, he has realized the meager contributions Castro had given to Cuba and grew to no longer respect him as he used to. The Cuban Revolution – Latin American Hero? is the story of Garcia’s conflicts, externally, against the oppressive Cuban government, and internally, against his own beliefs.

 

The Cuban Revolution ended in the late 1950s, while Fidel Castro retired in 2008 in favor of his brother. After a long rough patch with the United States, especially after the USSR fell, Cuba has finally started to get back on its feet, economically at least. Since Fidel Castro took over as military dictator, the percentage of Cubans that were literate in reading and writing remained as one of the highest in the world. Socialist reforms were implemented, and the sugar production industry thrived. But did the conditions really improve? Was the revolution worth it?
