This year marks the 60th anniversary of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba. Planned by the CIA, it was a plot to overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

The mission ended in a humiliating defeat for a group of U.S.-trained Cuban exiles who invaded the island’s southern shore.

As Cubans mark that anniversary, Anand Naidoo had an indepth discussion with acclaimed film-maker Oliver Stone on U.S. foreign policy over the past 60 years.
