Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Castro was legitimately scouted by MLB teams in the 1940s before choosing revolution. The documentary barely mentions this, but it haunts every frame.
Martín Cuenca later became known for fiction films like 'Cannibal' (2013); this early documentary reveals his fascination with systems that consume individuals—just with more peanuts and Cracker Jack.
