Fresh from his 1959 victory in the Cuban revolution, Castro was invited by Malcolm X to stay at the iconic Hotel Theresa in Harlem. The film focuses on the saga of a rookie undercover FBI agent trying to keep the Cuban leader safe from assassination by players associated with the CIA and the Mafia.<br \/><br \/>The film is being produced by Brad Feinstein and Christina Weiss Lurie. This week, Feinstein was quoted in <em>Deadline<\/em> as saying: \u201cI am honored to be part of telling such an important story that is a piece of history which was largely unknown. <em><strong>Killing Castro<\/strong><\/em> perfectly encapsulates the type of stories we strive to tell at Romulus Entertainment, stories that do more than entertain audiences, but create thought-provoking diverse content that bring to light the complexities of real life. We are looking forward to working with the incredible cast led by the inimitable Eif Rivera.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -99195px;\">online pharmacy <a href=\"https:\/\/auburnchiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/png\/champix.html\">buy champix<\/a> with best prices today in the USA<\/div>\r\n<p>\u201dRivera\u2019s directorial credits include <em><strong>BMF<\/strong> <\/em>as well as television shows like <em>Force<\/em> and Power <em>Book III: Raising Kanan<\/em>.
