Documentary Since 1959, when Fidel Castro ascended to power in the revolution that marked an era, no one had ever gone as deep inside Cuba as Jon Alpert, who brought along a small crew and a portable camera, beginning a fascinating, intimate, decades-long chronicle of the Communist country that was Cuba.

	Media	Author	Review
		Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Laudable and lively (...) A warm and engaging primer on a complex and controversial subject"
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"In part because of its political blind spots, 'Cuba and the Cameraman' is captivating (...) But it’s mostly worth watching because of human stories like these."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"An enthrallingly intimate look at 50 years of life in Cuba (...) Alpert remains buoyant even when things go bad"
		Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times	"As a decades-long, ground-level portrait of the country, his vibrant film is unprecedented."
		Alan Scherstuhl LA Weekly	"113 lively, whirlwind minutes, covering big news events (...) but also always taking the time to capture the everyday drift of life."
