US filmmaker Oliver Stone said in Havana that his interviews with Fidel Castro allowed him to better understand reality, since the Cuban leader had a very clear vision of historical and political process and that opened Stone´s mind.

Stone, during an exchange with filmmakers and participants at the Havana Film Festival, said he misses Fidel, who predicted much of what has happened in the world in the last years.

He added his first documentary on Fidel, Comandante (2003), a historical profile, was censored a week before its premiere because decision-making people didn’t want that content to be shown.

On the second, Looking for Fidel (2004), Stone said his questions were more aggressive, tough, and he even managed to upset Fidel with some of them, but the Cuban leader always answered in a brilliant way, and that was the reason the documentary was broadcasted just a few times.

As you know, it was almost impossible to put him between a rock and the a hard place: for those who hated him, he is in hell, for those who loved him he is in Heaven, he was a person we all will miss, Stone said.
