Filmmaker Dollan Cannell... While the Bay of Pigs incident may be the most famous example, assassination attempts on the life of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro number in the hundreds--638, to be exact. Filmmaker Dollan Cannell takes a decidedly lighthearted yet informative look at modern Cuban politics in his documentary 638 WAYS TO KILL CASTRO, interspersing humorous film clips, serious reportage, and interviews with would-be assassins like the infamous Orlando Bosch for an oftentimes damning look at interventionist U.S. foreign policy.

Reviews for 638 Ways to Kill Castro
Fascinating, devastating, eye-opening, shocking beyond belief, and seriously funny too. In other words, nobody could have made this stuff up, however fertile or depraved their imagination.
All of this is fascinating stuff, although Cannell trips too often with his inconsistent tone.
