“All spies are not James Bond. That laconic comment delivered during Castro’s Spies may be the key to this forensic-level insight into the workings of the ‘Cuban 5’… Compelling as a tale of Cold War intrigue, equally gripping on a human level.” – SCREEN DAILY
Nail-biting documentary Castro’s Spies, the story of Cuban spies being sent undercover to America in the ‘90s, is set for a North American release from Gravitas Ventures.
From their recruitment, training and eventual capture on US soil; this film peers into a secret world of false identities, love affairs and betrayal. Using never seen before footage from the Cuban Film Institute’s archive and first-hand testimony from the people at the heart of this story, Castro’s Spies gives a rare glimpse into the shadowy world of a spy – where the stakes are life and death.
Directed & Produced by Ollie Aslin & Gary Lennon, Castro’s Spies will release theatrically and be available on digital May 13 from Gravitas Ventures.
