CUBA - DANCE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW

For a short, terrifying time it was main street in the high noon of a nuclear showdown. The world has never been as close to atomic warfare than the Cuban Missile Crisis.

How long before the lid comes off Fidel Castro's vacuum-sealed island nation? ABC (Australia) reporter Michael Brissenden takes us behind the scenes of his recent assignment for Foreign Correspondent "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow".
