CUBA OF REVOLUTION

The documentary records the contemporary image of the island, walking a fine line between its history (the dream of every lover of freedom and revolution), and its harsh and contradictory present-day reality.

Cuba, facing its new "historic wager": the moment when the revolution, for many, has begun to fade and the country is turning towards a free market, striving to survive economically. With the question "after Fidel, what?" hanging in the air and the economic inequalities being now obvious. With the merciless embargo imposed by the United States on the one hand, and the fall of the "Eastern Block" on the other, creating insuperable problems. With a state which, in spite of the difficulties, manages to maintain one of the world's best public health and education systems.

The successes of the revolution and the aggressiveness of the USA as well as the opposition and the new economic class of wealthy Cubans have produced a documentary that is anything but "touristy".

60 MINUTES, AVAILABLE VERSIONS: Greek, English.

@NEWYORKLIBRE I am Cuban and I see many of the shortcomings Cuba might be looking tired, worn out, bleeding, but none of it make Batista look any better. It is for this reason that Americans will forever be shamed as Yankees and Gringos of Latin America.

Too bad la lucha sigue .. the revolution continues.. and the CUbans are living in poverty.. Cubas living standards were higher in during Batista than ANY period under Castro.. only people who buy into the lies of a 50 year dictatorship.. and have romantic dreams of Castro.. know otherwise.. HOW MANY OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE FAMILY IN CUBA? BEFORE AND NOW?
