Season 3, Episode 14: Alina Fernandez Revuelta

Born in Havana, Cuba, Alina Fernández Revuelta is the daughter of Fidel Castro and one of the most outspoken critics of her father’s communist regime. Raised in the shadow of the Cuban Revolution, Alina grew increasingly disillusioned with the government her father built and the restrictions it imposed on the Cuban people. In 1993, she fled Cuba disguised as a Spanish tourist and eventually settled in the United States, where she became an advocate for freedom and human rights. An author, radio personality, and public speaker, Alina chronicled her extraordinary upbringing and complicated relationship with her father in her memoir, Castro’s Daughter: An Exile’s Memoir of Cuba. Through her personal story, she offers a rare perspective on life inside Cuba’s ruling family, the consequences of communism, and the courage it takes to choose freedom over privilege.
