| Trapped
between the sea and the politics of governments, Cuban families
on either side of the Florida straits have endured nearly a
half century of separation and loss. Filmed in both the United
States and Cuba, this documentary explores the transnational
ties that bind Cuban-Americans in the United States to their
families still living on the island and sheds light on the
controversial new travel restrictions imposed by the U.S. Government
and its emotional impact on the lives of four Cuban families. |
