With or Without Fidel - NEW CUBAN DOCUMENTARY

With Or Without Fidel is a groundbreaking documentary that features Cuba's leading politicians, intellectuals and dissidents, who debate the future direction of the island's 48 year-old revolution.

How do Cubans feel about their own identity and freedom of speech? For the first time, the people of Cuba question the values that western democracy holds sacred and the price Cubans have paid for their independence.

With Or Without Fidel is an extremely rare glimpse into the heart of Cuban society. While the BBC, CNN and other correspondents were expelled from the country, Rice N Peas Films were given unprecedented access to produce an honest portrayal of the island.

Filmed during the most precarious period in Cuba's history, With or Without Fidel reveals the aspirations and vulnerabilities of a country on the brink of change.

Sí como supongo que Hitler también ha de tener seguidores en el mundo que piensan que era un gran hombre. Y no por eso deja de ser un asesino y miserable.

Por qué no lo derrocan?

Bueno yo soy Cubana y soy testigo ocular y vivo de k en Cuba es casi imposible sublevarse, pues el gobierno tiene todo muy fríamente calculado. En cada cuadra hay un DCR. Es decir k en cada cuadra hay un chivatón o informante del gobierno. Cada vez que se están organizando, encarcelan a los alborotadores. Solo tienes k ver todos los presos políticos k hay en Cuba. Tienes el ejemplo del remolcador 13 de marzo y el maleconazo.

Dear Cubans,

instead of rejecting Communism and your current regime so much, if you worked to help your country prosper, you could overcome many of the challenges that you are faced with.

The only difference between Communism and Capitalism is that in Capitalism, when you are failing, you are failing alone.

At least in Communism the Community has a fighting chance if they work together.

You all have your own personal experiences that force you to hate your leaders, but so do I.

For cubans to have access to 'Health Care',Education, 'Food Rations' they must

belong, attend, communist-socialist meetings, volunteer work, etc. to have this

goverment sponsored assistance. Which sadly, is not enough to live and well

below north american poverty income levels.

The last quote was by far my favourite.....long live Fidel and long live Cuba.

@cubanitofox Pero a al dictadura Castrista que son cubanos tambien le importa un pepino tu ideologia. De esa ideologia se ha reido la dictadura por mas de 50 anos. Antes nos gritaban traidores, ahora nos gritan traedolares. Saludos paisano y viva CUBA libre sin la dictadura. Iboru.

@justnobody5192 Yea that's very different from America, where black and white don't live together- they're just you know, standing next to each other or something.

Oh and yes, Viva el communismo- OR ELSE.

with or without blockade?

[fierced1989]

La logica no deja su brazo a torcer. Si fueran MAS los que realmente desean derrocar a Fidel Castro, entonces POR MAYOR QUE SE LA SUPUESTA REPRESION, POR MAYOR QUE SEAN LOS OBSTACULOS. Hace tiempo que una turba se hubiera levantado para derrocar al regimen.

[fierced1989]

Siguiendo su mismo criterio, cuantos cubanos son en contra de los CDR's? O sera acaso que hay mas CDR's ciudadanos de lo que usted pueda imaginar. Sera acaso que aquellos que realmente desean derrocar a Fidel son muy pocos? Porque una revolucion sin friccion no es revolucion.

[fierced1989]

Donde puedo encontrar esa informacion?

What a beautiful place.Where black and white people live together.Viva el communismo
