I love the video of him on the plane. The way he engages with these people is so raw and authentic. The smile is real, charismatic, friendly and you can feel a real compassion for the people around him, he likes people. Nobody feels unsafe around him. The humility and self confidence in just taking his clothes off is wild. It is not the aura of a monsters like the gusanos paint him as.
This mismatch between how he's portrayed and how he actually behaved very quickly tears down incorrect perceptions of him. The only politician I've seen with as much raw charisma as Fidel had is Obama, but he has never given off the vibe of humility and genuine compassion for the people around him that Fidel gives off.
