Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Clear, informative, well-argued account of the revolution in Cuba, looked at through the documentation of a single facet: Castro's attempt to raise the 1970 sugar harvest from 4.2 million tons to an all-time high of ten million. Beneath the level of narrative it presents an unclichéd view of the implications of revolution.
