Synopsis

This is Fidel Castro’s brilliant courtroom defense speech, offering a foretaste of the oratory for which he would become famous. At his trial for initiating an uprising against Batista’s dictatorship in 1953, he was sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment. He was released twenty months later due to public pressure, and within six years he marched triumphantly into Havana at the head of the Cuban Revolution.
