Waiting for Fidel is a documentary film from the National Film Board of Canada, in which Joey Smallwood, former Premier of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador; Newfoundland media mogul Geoff Stirling; and director Michael Rubbo document their visit to Cuba in an unsuccessful attempt to interview Fidel Castro. Much of the film consists of the progressive-minded Smallwood and free-market supporter Stirling debating the effects of the Castro regime.
