About American Comandante

When he was executed outside a Havana prison on March 11, 1961, the strange story of William Morgan seemed to vanish from the popular imagination as quickly as it had appeared. William Alexander Morgan was one of only a couple dozen US citizens who joined Cuban rebel forces, fighting for Fidel Castro in 1957.

Adriana Bosch's American Comandante is a 2015 documentary history film. Its themes are cuba, cuban revolution, and revolutionaries.

Oliver Platt appears as Self - Narrator (voice), William Alexander Morgan as Self (archival footage), Fidel Castro as Self (archival footage), and Che Guevara as Self (archival footage). Released in November 2015, it runs 52 minutes.

The screenplay is by Adriana Bosch. Produced by American Experience Films. It streams on PBS Documentaries Amazon Channel in the United States.

Che: Part One, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and Before Night Falls make useful companions to American Comandante.
