local fisherman Gregorio Fuentes were
the inspiration for Ernest Hemingway's
famous novel "The Old Man and the
Sea." But this documentary, filled
with memorable characters, takes you
from small fishing village in Italy,
to Bimini in The Bahamas, and
then to Key West and Cuba in a
journey of discovery to find the true
character behind Santiago, the old
fisherman and protagonist of
Hemingway's magnificent work of fiction.
