The first 6 episodes are great resources of information on the last 150 years of Cuban history, and exactly what I was expecting from this documentary. The events are commented by historians, experts and even some of the witnesses alive. If only those were to be reviewed, I would give them 9 out of 10.
However, the last two episodes, the ones that relate to the Castro era, are nothing but western propaganda. There is no chronology of events anymore, and the figure of Fidel Castro becomes the focus. There are very few contributions from experts/historians and the only perspective given is the one coming from CIA agents and Cuban exiles. The US is presented as a selfless actor, and the motives and consequences of the embargo are omitted.
