ROSAFÉ / Bull Versus Bully is a cinematic documentary blending Cold War intrigue with modern political reality. It tells the true story of Rosafé Signet, a champion Canadian Holstein bull, secretly flown from Canada to Cuba under the radar of the U.S. embargo in a covert Cold War mission.
The arrival of Rosafé… a bull with superior genetic lineage… played a fundamental role in rebuilding Cuba’s dairy industry. He became not just a breeding success, but a national hero… a living symbol of Cuba’s resilience, and proof that Castro’s promises were more than rhetoric. His slogan:
“A glass of milk for every Cuban child,”
As a tribute to Rosafé’s legacy, Fidel Castro commissioned Cuba’s most revered sculptor, Rita Langa, to immortalize the bull in bronze. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of bronze caused by the embargo, the sculptor was unable to complete her work.
Years later, Canadian philanthropist Carey Linde revives the story of Rosafé. After many challenges in Cuba and Canada, he fulfills Castro’s dream by commissioning a magnificent sculpture of the Canadian bull who became a Cuban hero.
Bull Versus Bully is a visually stunning, thought-provoking documentary where a forgotten Cold War story collides with contemporary global tensions. It follows Rosafé’s remarkable journey — first as a symbol of Cuba’s survival, and decades later as an emblem of Canadian, Danish, Greenlandic, and global resistance to modern U.S. unilateralism and economic pressure.
Through powerful interviews, archival footage, animation, and stylized reenactments, the film draws a compelling connection between past and present struggles for sovereignty… and calls attention to Article 1(2) of the United Nations Charter:
“To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace.”
Now, in a world where sovereignty is once again under threat… from gunboat diplomacy to political manipulation… the bull rides again.
With rich archival material, stylized sequences, modern diplomacy, and the dramatic unveiling of a monumental statue in Havana, Bull Versus Bully becomes a poetic, political, and unexpectedly humorous meditation on resistance, dignity…
and the quiet power of milk.
Rosafé stood strong. Now Canada, Denmark, and the world must do the same.
