The documentary series that chronicles the history of Cuba begins with an examination of the native Cubans, Spanish invaders and the introduction of slavery.
Sugar production on the island flourishes, but the country's relations with the United States sours, and military strongman Fulgencio Batista solidifies his power.
The tv show is good, very informative. As always, one or two things are incorrect, but otherwise quite neutral narrative.
Safely ignore younger generation's comments about it, as the saying goes:
"who defends communism? Those who never lived in communism"
I just don't feel it's anything specialy above average historical documentary and it's unnecessary long, hence the score.
