The Comandante kept his private life as private as possible. This was one of the reasons it was a huge scandal that his daughter Alina escaped from Cuba more than twenty years ago when the country was on the edge of financial collapse. Now that her father is ill, there are rumors if he is alive at all.
Alina lives in Miami quietly where Cuban crowds are planning a huge mass celebration for the day when Alina's father will die. She doesn't know if she will join them though she has never been able to forgive her dad for what he caused to her and their country. We see her in her home, in the bars of Little Havana, in a Cuban radio show and in her yoga class in Miami while we visit the locations of her childhood in Cuba from her home to her ballet school where we talk to her ex-teacher who gives another perspective on Alina... The film ends in Cuba and in Miami after the death of Fidel Castro, showing mourning, celebration – and Alina.

Imagine that you are a child of a dictator with absolute power. Up to the military coup in Chile, in Nazi-Germany, in the 70s in Uganda or anywhere in the world where there is a dictatorship with absolute power. Your father is the most feared person in your country. He can do whatever he wants and probably you can get whatever you want too. But at a certain point history just turns around and people start to call your father a dictator. He is losing everything but you remain his daughter or son with a stigma. But can history change your mind about your father? And can facts effect your emotions? And how will you deal with the heavy heritage that your father leaves behind?
These are the central questions which influenced CHILDREN OF DICTATORS. The program presents some of the most influential dictators of the 20th century from Africa to South America through the eyes of their children and relatives. The hour-long episodes bring a rarely seen personal perspective on history and offer a deeper understanding of the most feared leaders in the world while focusing on the portraits of their children.
The filmmakers worked without a crew, with only two small broadcast cameras in order to have undisturbed and exclusive access to children of dictators, namely Lucia Pinochet in Chile, Jaffar Amin in Uganda, Bettina Göring in Germany and Fidel Castro's daughter in Miami.
