Filmmaker Michael Rubbo travels to Cuba to make a film about Fidel Castro. In Havana, important Cubans promise him access to Castro as they chauffeur his crew about the country. Day after day, the hopeful party waits; but the Cuban leader remains ever elusive . . . .More a personal journal than a documentary, WAITING FOR FIDEL records each step of this wayward quest to meet Castro. Rubbos decision to appear on-camera and interact with the participants went against documentary traditions, resulting in a freewheeling, groundbreaking film that has inspired filmmakers Michael Moore (ROGER AND ME) and Nick Broomfield (BIGGIE AND TUPAC, AILEEN WOURONOS: THE SELLING OF A SERIAL KILLER).
