@jvarela965 Well.. has your grandfather ver been concearned much with the state of conditions for the poor, the dark skinned, those in opposition - anyone net driving Cadillacs for that matter. Had he been, he would have seen the other side of the argument, however flawed in long run those arguments might have been.

An interesting film. I noted that Corvette pulling away from the Havana Hilton. My grandparents were affluent in pre-Castro Cuba. My father told me in the early years it was common when a desirable car would roll by, Corvette, Mercedes, Thunderbird, Cadillac etc would roll by the Militiamen would flag it down and comendere it saying " Emergency Business" and the car was gone forever. Constant harassment to anyone who was educated looking was common in the regime's early days.

This movie is amazing. Unbelivable. I was searching for something like this, because I had so many unanswered questions. Thanks for posting. Any more like this???? Also, wouldn't be great if we could see a current version of "Three Cubans". Any film makers out there?
