Description: Top frames in row one show Fidel Castro from a look-out point in the Sierra Maestra. The last frame in this row shows a coffee farm (with drying beds to the left, behind farm house) in which both rebels and peasants can be seen. The rebels imposed a tax on all coffee produced in the region that they controlled; their presence there may indicate collection of that tax or general cooperation by the farm's owner and workers. The second and third rows of frames show Fidel Castro getting a tooth pulled through the use of a sewing machine; by attaching one end of the cord of the gripping device to the machine's wheel and the other to the unhealthy tooth, the tooth could be extracted more easily. Beginning with frame 12, Celia Sánchez is depicted assisting in the tooth extraction and later sitting near Fidel while both appear to be reading letters.
