An 
company.
I must say this movie was quite well presented. It surprised me to see a self centered movie about Fidel Castro even it was produced by an american company.
I don't want to talk about what Fidel has done or what he hasn't done as Cuba's president.
I liked the movie because it presents a certain episode in Cuba's history. I disagree on the comments presented before about Fidel's actions against his political opponents because it's the director's and the producer's decision what episodes to present in a movie. As far as I know, they're free to talk only about certain moment in Cuba's history. It's ok to disagree on that, but there's no way to criticize it because it will be doing the same people criticizes on Fidel: his lack of acceptance to different points of view and his tolerance to people who don't agree with him.
