The event was attended by representatives of the diplomatic corps, parliament, political parties, solidarity, Zambian graduates from Cuba, Cuban residents and other friends.
While speaking, the Cuban Ambassador Marileydis Dueñas Morales highlighted that the documentary covers Castro's life, combining archival footage and interviews with figures ranging from Gabriel García Márquez to Arthur Schellisnger, Jr. However, it is not a typical biopic. What it provides instead is a fascinating look, from different viewpoints, at the evolving image and changing significance, that Fidel and the Cuban Revolution has provided to leftists and anti-imperialists since he first took to the Sierra Maestra with 20 comrades. It shows his most human side in the difficult moments Cuba has gone through and his commitment to his people. (EMBACUBA-ZAMBIA)
