Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, Luis

I have taken note of your list. Much appreciated.

Any truthful information that cuts through the propaganda smoke (coming from Cuba and the liberals in the U.S) about what is really happening in Cuba, will help keep the Cuba 'debate' focused directly on those really responsible for the repression being heaped on the people of Cuba.

I highly recommend Azucar Amarga...stark movie that pulls few punches.

[Humidston]

Thanks for the ping, Luis. And continued prayers for the tortured people of Cuba.

[PoisedWoman]

thanks. I'll ask my library to buy a copy of this film.

They have another film I liked, "Azucar Amarga," made in '98 or '99, which I saw after returning from Havana. It exactly portrayed life in Cuba today, was an excellent movie, and I recommend it to all.

[PoisedWoman]

I went in '99....and saw film, "Azucar Amarga" the week I got back to the States....If you haven't seen it, I think you'll like it, or at least find it a realistic portrayal of the Cuban people.

Where can I find Bitter Sugar?

None of the Blockbusters around here (Atlanta) carry it.

Any ideas?

They ought to put this movie along side Oliver Stone's hagiography of Castro and see which is more believable.

Do you know where you can find a copy of 'Azucar Amarga'? Amazon doesn't have it (they have the soundtrack, not the film).

Many thanks.

No need to spend your tourist dollars visiting Cuba. Baby clothes and medicine reach more people and toys bring smiles to the faces of children, however temporary their smile are.
