The Dictator Debate

movie - 22 min

Drama, History

Directed by Brett Eckes, Houston Diaz, Noam Jankelowitz

In a surreal and darkly comedic dinner, Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin, and Donald Trump clash over power, control, and ideology. Through sharp dialogue and absurd moments—like Castro showcasing a pistol and Trump fielding a call from Kim Jong Un—their egos and philosophies collide, revealing the shared flaws of authoritarianism across eras. As their hubris unfolds against flashes of historical consequences, the dinner becomes a biting satire on the cost of unchecked power and the fragile line between history and absurdity.
