Narrator: 1959年初,巴蒂斯塔政权垮台,卡斯特罗领导的革命者们进入哈瓦那,受到人民的欢呼。卡斯特罗承诺恢复民主和古巴主权,但古巴人开始怀疑他是否只是用一个独裁噩梦取代了另一个。卡斯特罗通过各种方式巩固权力,包括控制媒体、推行土地改革和清洗异己。美国政府对古巴滑向共产主义独裁感到担忧,但卡斯特罗否认革命具有共产主义性质,并与苏联建立了联系。 Jonathan Hansen: 1958年底,军事上的胜利已经取得,但革命尚未巩固。革命的未来掌握在人民手中。 Eduardo Salles Bazán: 我曾经对卡斯特罗充满希望,但后来我意识到他不会尊重法律,这将是古巴人民的灾难。他对古巴空军成员的审判表明了他的真面目,他为了巩固权力不惜践踏法律。 Alex von Tunzelmann: 卡斯特罗与人之间的关系并不深厚,他是一个非常注重隐私的人,与人群的交流对他来说是一种亲密的形式。他从与人群的互动中获得能量,并将人群视为他理想中古巴的体现。 Ileana Yarza: 与菲德尔的相遇改变了我的一生,我决定追随他。他的演讲像历史课一样,开启了我的思想,让我意识到自己被美国文化洗脑了。 Carlos Herr: 我小时候在电视上看到处决的画面,这非常令人不安。革命的残酷让我难以忘怀。 Lillian Gueda: 卡斯特罗通过各种方式占据了公众的视线和话语权,并在机构上和言语上使革命离不开他。他邀请外国记者到古巴见证审判,并向世界展示这些政策有多受欢迎。 Jennifer Lamb: 卡斯特罗公开谴责反共情绪,认为批评革命具有共产主义倾向等同于叛国,这实际上是在邀请美国的干预。他利用这种手段压制异议,巩固权力。
