COVERING CUBA 6: CURACAO

COVERING CUBA 6: CURACAO © ABIP 2008 This is the sixth installment of Agustin... Blazquez's series COVERING CUBA. It is the story of how Castro's regime sends workers abroad to work as "slaves" for $12 to $16 US dollars a month. In this case, 100 Cubans were sent to the Caribbean Dutch island of Curacao to work against their will at the docks where they live in slave-like barracks. In violation of the U.S. embargo, they were assigned to work repairing U.S. ships. This is their shocking story and how they managed to escape and reach the United States. Featured: Alberto Rodríguez Licea, Fernando Alonso -- two of the escapees and Arturo J. Riera, Efrén Córdova, Enrique Encinosa, Georgina Zayas, Luis González Infante, Joel Brito, José González Bridón and Juan F. Benemelis Featured song: "Devuelveme el trigo" by Gustavo Rex Music: Caryl Traten Fisher, Cristian González, Eugene Pottier, Frederick Chopin, Marcos Galvany, Marcos Garcia, Rafaél Monteagudo, Richard Stumpf, Rodolfo Guzmán, Marcos Galvany & Marcos García producer/director Agustin Blazquez, assistant/interviewer Jaums Sutton & Ana Maria Lamar Subtitles in English and Spanish / Subtitulada en inglés y español.
