People & Power - Cyber Cuba August 15, 08 Part 2

A strict control on the media has characterised Cuba since the communist revolutionaries took power in 1959. Recently however a frenzy for information has been brought about, especially amongst the younger generations.

An underground network of young people smuggles computer memory sticks and digital cameras, accessing clandestine Internet connections and spreading news the official state media would rather repress.

viva la revolucion! i've been 2 cuba & seen the affects of socialism & the affects of the embargo,,,, there are high end material things there but for the average joe life is a hustle, our tour guide had a university education but he said he's make'n good money as a tour guide,,, the good and the bad of cuba is visible but the cuban gov't & ppl must be true to them selves & their humanity & work a way out of their poverty but also keep their sovereignty and pride,, viva la cuba libre

@eperez2 FYI The US made it clear that any major Companies that trade with cuba and also trade with the us will have to either stop trading with them or cuba in turn only small companies trade with them they only get help from countries that are developing not the ones that arlready developed like us uk canada but help from venezuela the only major country that help them is china but they would not dare go far since the US is what kept china alive

@AmersfoortTristan lmao! Thank you! The Embargo in a way has not affected Cuba as much as people think it has. They simply get American products through other countries that trade with the U.S.

Hmm 03.40 I kind of wonder where he got a bottle of Coke.

There is a US Embargo against Cuba, right ?
