Australia |
VU2/SP.352.001 |
David Bradbury's documentary examines life in Cuba in the 5th decade of the revolution led by Fidel Castro. Bradbury's trek to Cuba received some funding from 86-year-old Byron Bay millionaire socialist Greek-Australian Jim Mitsos, who earlier had donated $500,000 for construction of a children's hospital in Cuba. Mitsos, too old to travel to Cuba himself, wanted a first-hand account from Bradbury on conditions there. He uncovers a fascinating cross section of Cubans who share their current reality, hopes and dashed dreams laid bare by 40 years of Soviet style socialism. |
