Filmed on location at La Plata, Castro's former guerrilla headquarters- the first time any foreign film crew had been permitted there - the documentary examines the origins of Castro's revolution, and its ultimate successes and failures. It places U.S.-Cuban relations within the context of history, dating back to the Spanish-American War in 1898. The documentary goes on to paint a canvas of everyday Cuban life. It contrasts the successes of Cuba - medical care, education and housing - with the often repressive political measures implemented by the Castro government. We hear from Cuban artists, State Department officials, exiled writers, and Fidel Castro himself. We visit the Psychiatric Hospital, the Women's Prison, and a library to see what books are available. This film does full justice to its complex subject. It is neither a rationale for Communist Cuba nor a political tool for Cuban exiles. It will interest audiences of all political persuasions.

This is the rollercoaster story of global energy security, and we are at its critical juncture. Around the world, oil and gas fields are either running dry or have become politically or environmentally toxic. For all the talk of renewables and nuclear, no one is in any doubt that the human race will continue to rely on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future. But how long can Earth's resources sustain life as we know it? Travelling to many oil and gas producing territories around the world, Planet Oil traces how humans have developed fuels and how geology, technology, politics and commercial pressures have affected and driven the world’s insatiable consumption. Timely and groundbreaking, it also asks what will be the cost of our continued addiction to these fuels, and can the human race ever end its dependence on oil?
