So many Americans and people from other countries have been fooled by Communist Cuba's propaganda of Cuban being a bad country before the Revolution. In fact Cuba was the third country in the western hemisphere with the highest standard of living after the US and Canada. The cuban middle class was the highest in Latin America and the cuban peso was on pair with the US dollar. Don't take my words for this, do the research. Just make sure you use neutral documents, not leftists ones.

Well,we keep changing one dictator for another.Who messured the majority of cubans?who did your numbers?Fifo?Okay maybe you are right, so who was ruthless killed by CIA.You are right terrorist are terrorist, but obviously you are not familiar with withElCurita,that has a park in Reina and let me turn you on to a site that tells you this revolutionary Martir place 100 BOMBS in one night. Movimiento 26 de July no doubt has TerroristRoots.

As bad as you make this seem. Life in Cuba before Castro was hell on earth for the majority of Cubans. CIA "assets" have ruthlessly killed innocent Cubans, and a famous one, the one who blew up the Cuban Airliner is on trial now in Texas, for fraud, not terrorism. I like your film, but alone it is harmful, and serves the interests ofthe MIC. Why not present this as part of a series, showing the growing pains of Cuba as a free and independent country?

Americans and cubans do good business together its all about business and making money and living well whats wrong with that. Castro and his gangster regime just enjoys the power of having life and death over there people.

The revolution ended when Castro overthrew the US-backed regime of Fulgencio Batista... The youth of today in Cuba are losing patience with what you get when the military runs the show. Castro talks about the revolution in the present tense like an old senile confederate soldier who shoots first and thinks the war is not over. In school the young are taught to venerate sacrifices they make to keep the non-existant revolution alive. The youth wonder why they are being treated like they are stupid

Cuba had a high literacy rate way before Castro. Next?

@Cubanffriend

And how has a 50 year old dictatorship helped the Cuban people? Please spare me your ignorance.

@whimsickal Because he is a Nationalistic AMerican... 3rd world is shht to him...

@kedekatan I agree with you. Eventually Cubans will get their country back but it is critical that the US stays out of Cuban affairs. The revolution was necessary for the country to wrest control from the US and American involvement has done nothing to help the Cuban people.
