Fidel's cigar-smoking charisma and compassion for Alpert left me wanting to see more all the time. I think the most magnificent scenes are the behind-the-scenes interaction and special bond Jon and Fidel shared. A close second is the relationship he shared with Fidel Castro. You get so invested in their story and each time Jon goes back to visit you're left with this deep curiosity and fear (no spoilers here). Their spirit is an absolute testament to moving forward under any circumstances. My favourite storyline from this documentary is obviously the relationship he shared with Cristobal, Gregorio, and Angel.
