Waiting for Fidel is a Canadian documentary by Michael Rubbo and starring director Rubbo, former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador Joey Smallwood and Newfoundland media mogul Geoff Stirling.
It depicts Rubbo, Smallwood, and Stirling's unsuccessful attempt to interview Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
[2] Two Canadians, former premier of Newfoundland Joey Smallwood and broadcaster Geoff Stirling, travel to Cuba in a private jet.
Instead, much of the film consists of discussions between progressive Smallwood and free-marketer Stirling about the effects of the Castro regime.
The film's name is a take on the play Waiting for Godot, which has a similar conceit of two men conversing while they await a guest who never arrives.
