One of the United States’ most outspoken and controversial directors interviews one of the world’s most outspoken and controversial heads of state. Cuban leader Fidel Castro talks openly with director Oliver Stone about his relationship to Che Guevara, Kennedy and Nixon, as well his private life. Friendly, yet tenacious in pursuing various lines of questioning, Stone conducts an illuminating tête-à-tête with Castro, elucidating how Cuba has existed at the border of the world’s greatest superpower as its most persistent antagonist for more than four decades. Largely unseen in the US, Comadante provides a fascinating insight into the mind of the man who has defied and angered the majority of the American populace for the last fifty years.
