Oliver Stone's Castro Film to Air Only in Canada
Simon Houpt, Toronto Globe and Mail, Sat., March 20, 2004
[Oliver Stone spent three days in Cuba with Castro talking about youth,
power, everything from Fidel's failings as a father to drinking nights with
Krushchev. The result is a film HBO won't show, perhaps because it puts a
human face on the U.S.'s eternal enemy. But the CBC isn't afraid to air it.]
NEW YORK -- The phone line to Los Angeles is weak and crackling, and Oliver
Stone asks me to call him back. "I thought maybe our phone was being tapped
by the Bush Administration," I say when I finally reach him. "Huh huh," he
chuckles without mirth. "Huh huh. Huh huh. I don't know if that's funny or
not."
