OTHELLO RENSOLI plays Pombo. Rensoli is awaiting his next scene while other actors playing rebel soldiers practice their assault on Batista’s forces holding the town square. In real life, Pombo also fought with Che to create a revolution in Bolivia in the 1960s and later became a brigadier general in the Cuban army.
