Movie time: Waiting For Fidel

Waiting For Fidel has been a cult favourite among many Newfoundlanders, and indeed among a good few documentary lovers I know; there's an odd fascination to see former premier Joe Smallwood and NTV-Herald founder Geoff Stirling fly down to Cuba and then wait, Godot-like, for a meeting with Fidel Castro. The NFB made the film in 1974; when I was younger, I rented the movie on video cassette. Now, it couldn't be easier to see, as the Film Board has posted the whole thing online. In fact, it can be embedded, as below. Check out the NFB site to see more of the many, many things online:
