Season 1.
Then it is just a propaganda from the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Very unbalanced in terms of point of view. A waste of time unless you are interested in propoganda movies.
It is not a long document.
It is missing dissenting voices and voices from within Cuba. Surprised they didn't portray the Spanish in a better light at this rate.
The standard cover story for the US is repeated. 9 out of 10 commentators are CIA Agents or Cuban Exiles.
As I watch the first episode of this miniseries, as much as I enjoy the aspects that detail the Spanish conquest of the island and the history of the country's geography and it's people, the German-based experts they brought in took me completely out of the narrative because they were speaking in German in their interviews, which I'm sure are very insightful, but at the same time, was quite unexpected and somewhat jarring due to the unexpectedness of hearing the German language in a documentary about the history of Cuba, as well as the contrast between the Germans' perspectives as opposed to the Spanish/Caribbean narrative and tone set by the American narrator and the more classic documentary style that I was expecting when I decided to watch the series.

A disappointing documentary.

The tv show is good, very informative.
“The Cuba Libre Story” tells Cuba’s complete history – looking back at 500 years before the Castro Brothers, and ahead at what will come after them.
This series portrays the Castro's as good, the Cuban exiles as terrorists and the Cuban Spies sent here as heroes.
Those who never lived in communism" The series weaves together over 50 exclusive interviews with the most important experts and eyewitnesses of Cuban history – both from within and outside the island with never-before-seen archive footage.

Finally, they don't even bother refer to Cuba's medical and educational system (both systems are considered as top quality systems globally) or any other facts about the Cuban economy from 1959. In general, this is a shameless, ahistorican, anti-socialist propaganda from Netflix. This documentary is a great portray of Cuba's History until 1959.
I would really like to know the history of Cuba, but it needs to be in a format that I can make sense of.

For them Castro is just another one dictator who destroyed Cuba's economy (the Batista's casino-mafia economy) and oppress his own people. I just don't feel it's anything specialy above average historical documentary and it's unnecessary long, hence the score. Was this review helpful? 8 out of 15 found this helpful. Safely ignore younger generation's comments about it, as the saying goes: As always, one or two things are incorrect, but otherwise quite neutral narrative.
I really enjoyed this documentary.
2 out of 4 found this helpful. This is a great documentary about Cuba's history up until Castro seized power. It seems to follow some sort of alternate history but since most of the content is in Spanish, German, or French I cannot really tell. The Daiquiri, the Mojito and El Presidente are among the classic cocktails that call Cuba home. Absence of attention on US policy in Latin America and, especially, the impact of the US embargo on Cuba is egregious. If you are a German speaker, I'd recommend you to switch to German, because then all of the Comments are narrated, and the narrator sounds better to me.
Hands down one of the most engaging and most complete documentaries I've ever watched.
Was this review helpful? Sort by: Filter by Rating: 3 /10. Unfortunately it is far away being objective...Poor one sided American narrative based on mostly exile Cuban accounts: The revolution in Cuba is almost a coincedence, Castro brothers are bloody dictators, USA "only" tried to protect their financial interest, the bad Soviet guys did not wait for a sec to cooperatw with evil Cuba. Based on the bestselling memoir.An aspiring young country singer finds the band she's been missing when she takes a job as a nanny for a musically talented family.Filmmaker Kirsten Johnson and her elderly father stage his death in various ways to help them confront his inevitable demise with humor and poignancy.A teen with the power of invisibility is dragged into a small-time criminal's quest to rule the neighborhood, and gets to know a mysterious art student.
Lies about Castro killing his own men to retain power, lies about how Castro ruined the economy and not America's embargo, lies about the USSR not being embargoed, lies about the extent of imperialism of the United States.
The only point they want to make towards the later episodes is: Socialism Bad!
1.
I have lived on both sides of the country and have seen things first hand, if you didn't like it because it didn't match your views or your reckoning, get your facts together and go and read "El diario del Che en Bolivia", "La historia me absolverá" and "La edad de oro", oh, and also some history book written for the kids in the fifth grade, then you will see the documentary is not that bad after all. 7 out of 19 found this helpful. European scholars provide the most balanced points of view on the history. The lease is available online.
