The political aftermath of a society fundamentally transformed by a new ideology had a profound effect on the life and career of a young performer. The radical changes and intolerance of the communist system presented new and dire consequences that could not be ignored.

Stripped of liberty and creativity suddenly disallowed, it was replaced with fear inside the closed, oppressive, radical, new society. Finding no other outlet, the devastating decision to leave the country, family and career was a must. The plan to escape culminated with one year of forced labor before receiving the exit permit to leave Cuba.

Being a Cuban American exile artist in the U.S. proved to be an extremely difficult handicap to overcome. The documentary my decision tells the story of what's behind the career of an extraordinary artist.

La secuela política de una sociedad fundamentalmente transformada por una nueva ideología tuvo un profundo efecto en la vida y carrera de un artista. Los cambios radicales e intolerancia del sistema comunista presentó nuevas y horribles consecuencias que no podían ser ignoradas.

Subitamente sin libertad de creación, esta fué reemplazada por el miedo dentro del enclaustramiento de la opresiva nueva sociedad. Sin encontrar otra salida, fué necesario tomar la devastadora decisión de abandonar el país, la familia y la carrera. El plan de escape culminó en un año de trabajo forzado antes de que se le diera el permiso de salida de Cuba.

Ser un artista cubanoamericano exiliado en los EE.UU. es un problema extremadamente difícil de sobreponer. El documental mi decisión cuenta la historia de lo que hay detrás de esta extraordinaria carrera artística.
