I wouldn't mind watching a doc on Putin. Probably wouldn't pay to see it in a theater, but I'd watch on TV. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with exploring a different point of view, to see where someone else is coming from. To educate yourself if nothing else.

On Castro-- he's an interesting character. Many Cubans hate his rule, but many others, more so a broad swath of Latin America, look at him, even if they don't agree with all his policies, as a hero of sorts for giving America's govt the finger for last however many decades. This little guy on a little island, standing up to the biggest empire in the world. I think that's more of what Stone was admiring. His standing up to the U.S. government.

Emboldening despots to further oppress their people and execute dissenters is beyond idiotic on any level.
