General Ochoa’s Fall : Cuba’s Most Infamous Trial | SLICE WHO | FULL DOCUMENTARY

General Arnaldo Ochoa, once a hero of Cuba’s military conquests, met a shocking end on July 13, 1989. His trial, a marathon spectacle broadcast nationwide, captivated the Cuban people like a gripping telenovela—except this was no fiction. Accused of drug trafficking, smuggling, and betraying the Revolution, Ochoa faced a carefully orchestrated show trial, a dark comedy of justice where the outcome seemed scripted from the start. The general, once celebrated, became the scapegoat in a political purge, paying the ultimate price in a trial that blurred the lines between justice and propaganda.
