A treasure hunter valiantly searches for gold and silver from sunken ships off the coast of Cuba after making a deal to share the bounty with Castro.

Castro's Gold is an adventurous documentary following an ambitious treasure hunter determined to recover the legendary riches lost aboard Spanish treasure ships that sank off the coast of Cuba during the era of colonial exploration. Armed with little more than centuries-old insurance documents and historical records, the expedition embarks on a daring search for long-lost cargoes of silver and gold once destined for Spain from the mines of Peru. Adding an unusual political dimension to the journey, the treasure hunter negotiates an agreement with Fidel Castro to share any recovered bounty should the expedition succeed.

Blending maritime history, underwater exploration, humor, and real-life adventure, the documentary examines the enduring fascination surrounding sunken treasure while chronicling the unpredictable challenges faced by the expedition. Historical intrigue, nautical archaeology, and the excitement of discovery combine to create an entertaining account of one man's remarkable quest beneath Cuban waters.

Directed by Josh Freed and produced by Arnie Gelbart, the documentary features Glen Costello, Charlie Costello, Ted Hill, Eddie Fernandez, and Freddie Navaro as the expedition pursues one of history's most enduring maritime mysteries.
