This is a singular documentary that revisits the drama of the Cuban dictatorship and its impact across generations, drawing on testimonies from diverse voices within the exile community and using as its leitmotif Fidel Castro’s daughter, Alina Fernández Revuelta. The film highlights perspectives seldom heard in discussions of the turmoil Castroism brought to the island, with figures such as Gloria Estefan, Ricardo Pau-Llosa, José Bedia, Margarita Cano, Nilo Cruz, and Bonco Quiñongo, among others, sharing personal stories conveying hope and long-awaited freedom.
Collectively, they underscore the success of Cuban Americans in the United States – and how their entrepreneurial spirit could help shape a future free Cuba.
