- Belly of The Beast is a media outlet that counters parachute journalism by providing stories directly from the island.
The documentary series, The War on Cuba, gives an inside look on the effects of U.S. sanctions on Cuban people. Episode 2 explores the impact of the US-imposed “oil blockade” on Cuba and the ways in which Cubans are finding alternatives to scarcities caused by US sanctions.
CORRECTION: John Bolton was named National Security Advisor in 2018.
I love the Cuban people, my grandmother is the daughter of Cubans who came to work in Jamaica in the 1920's. The Cuban medical professionals come to Jamaica often and we always look forward to their visit. Thank you to all Cubans, from your friend next door in Jamaica.
My great grandmother migrated as well to Jamaica
Yes my neighbour in St. Thomas was Cuban too. That was my first experience with a Cuban. RIP Ms P.
@Holey Moley not that many
Thank you for loving Cubans, we are people of peace, love and music
It breaks my heart to see the Cuban people suffering. We owe so much to Cuba for their medical doctors that have been sent to Jamaica over the yrs. Really hope things get better
Via red cross?
@@SmaxyMiguel no Cubans send their doctors all over the world.

Rip Michael Manley

"Venezuela sent us oil, and we sent them... my mom."
Love it.
This just breaks my heart. The US bullying knows no bounds. I applaud the resilience of the Cuban people.
You want to support Cuban people??? Support @CubaDecide Let Cubans decide the future they want, for the 1st time in 61 years.
Really ?, the people can't elect their own leaders and you support the dictators ?
Yet Haitians 50 miles away from Cuba migrate to the US much farther away. Wonder why?

Wrong. So some research or get outside your bubble. Better yet, don't insert your 2 cents cause it ain't worth shit. They have bad government officials. It's not the 🇺🇸 job to fix them.
This documentary tells us things that the mainstream media never report on. I am pleased that there is a contingent of Cuban nurses and medics in Barbados to help during the pandemic and their stay has recently been extended. I am also aware that the only colonial power in the Caribbean is the United States, who continue to treat Puerto Rico as a colony.
The Dutch & French are also still in the Caribbean.
The English are here too, we still have a governor general representing the queen in Jamaica.
Britain ceased being a colonial power long ago. Commonwealth members are free to become republics with presidents replacing monarchs. There are a very few Crown Colonies - but they have decided to stay under British protection. BVI derives most of its income from annual company fees, Caymans do a lot of offshore finance too. Gibraltarians are more British than the British, and universally hate the Spanish.
I know that French possessions can also elect for independence, but many chose to stay and be part of Metropolitan France, electing MPs direct to Paris. Perhaps this worked out well with infrastructure spending, EU grants, etc. Well before the BVI became popular for offshore companies, I remember old fashioned hedge funds basing in Dutch Caribbean islands. Panama was always available, but the courts in London, Paris, etc would generally be preferred to settle commercial litigation.
@@malcolmandrew9523 I am from St.Martin we are half Dutch and half French. Our neighbour to the North is Anguilla a British overseas territory. Our other neighbour's are St.Barths another French overseas territory. Saba & St.Eustatius which are Dutch Municipalities. And last but not least St.Kitts & Nevis who gained their independance from Great Britain over 30 years ago.
Psalms 47:2-3 (KJV) 2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth. 3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
I have been to Cuba, found the people to be the friendliness people in the world. They do not deserve to be sanctioned. It has been more then 60 years since the dispute. Build a bridge and get over it.
@Taiwan92Abarth And what about the people who where persecuted by Batista a dictator who was put in power by the USA before Castro? I’m not for communism , but you have to give Castro regime credit for raising the literacy rate higher than even the USA. Plus their universal healthcare.
@Taiwan92Abarth interesting. Something for me to read about. Now tell me about the organize crime when and Batista.
After all comments, I still think Cubans are the friendliness.
@Taiwan92Abarth 💯
I admire the tenacity of the Cuban people and creativity borne out of the need to survive. I pray that this embargo ends and life get easier all of you. Long live Cuba. Mi corazon esta con todos ustedes
Blaming everything on the US and the embargo is an old tactic. Inform yourself. Cuba's regime= no freedom of the press, of speech, of assembly. The government controls all newspapers, TV, radio stations, and internet. Long live Cuba, without its dictatorship.
Elegant journalist my lady. The resilience of the Cuban people is astounding. 👍🏿🤗
This series is really well made, good cinematography, music, and graphics. It's the first media I've ever seen from Cuba, and I'm very impressed!!
Danny Glover, Oliver Stone main producers. Could not be any other way. Love those two guys.
And in English language too! I wonder why hmmm 🤔
This is sponsor by the Cuban government. Do not believe in everything you see in here.
The Cuban journalists involved are all from the regime's official media; therefore, this documentary would not have been made without the support of the Government and the Communist Party.
@@animatek6171 you are absolutely right.
Your story telling and narration is impeccable...Keep up the good work..
Definitely story telling. There is no journalism. Just propaganda. Always one sided.

@@tman9580 everything we hear about Cuba in the US is from the completely other side. What's wrong with finally getting another perspective from people actually living there?
@Darrell Smith I agree.
Instagram?
What an incredible people and an incredible country. Persisting in the face of constant economic warfare from a huge imperialist empire on the doorstep. I have endless respect for the cuban people!
Thanks!
Hey you should move to Cuba. BTW why is this documentary in English, from a Spanish speaking country? Which public are they trying to appeal to? Hmmm 🤔 okay continue the cry wolf
@@annjohnson2384 I'm afraid I am not suited to the climate. It should be obvious that they're appealing to the world outside Cuba. The cubans already know this.
@@davidanderson7460 The US have actually tried to invade it. And also tried to assassinate Castro countless times.
@@davidanderson7460 You forget that they were closely allied to the Soviet Union and would have triggered world war. Of course they could have invaded it if they wanted to, but unprovoked attacks are bad optics. It's better to try to make the country collapse indirectly and install a puppet, which is what the US has done in the rest of Latin America and tried and tries to do in Cuba.
Thank you for this brilliantly put together overview of how the war on Cuba and the war on Venezuela are both part of the same strategy for expanding U.S. control over the Caribbean and Latin America.
Sending much love to my Cuban brothers and sisters. Shalom/Paz/Peace
I've always wanted to visit cuba eversince I watched Dance with me😂.. as an African, they've been instrumental on the continent eventhough they're not rich. Their voice and hospitality. 💯
This is amazing! Thank you for posting. I'm learning more about US history now at 54, than I did in high school. The American people are mislead on a regular basis.
Every countries citizens are lied to and misled by leaders and a compliant media.
@@jamespatrickmcinch2519 You are right.
@@ZalinaW That doesn't happen often.😁
Thank god, we need more people to wake up!
I learned more about Embargoes than I did in my POLS class.
Yeah you learned nothing because none of what she said is true LOL
I love this video, especially mom and daughter talking. I could see the love and adoration in both their eyes.
It’s beautiful to hear my sister telling the story of Cuba. Much love from Haiti 🇭🇹💓 🇨🇺 . Truthfully this is the story of many countries south of USA
Love to Haiti and Cuba from the U.S. I hope things improve under Biden for both countries.
@@wiseteacher3599 🤦♂️you’re on RUclips already why would they improve under joe?
Haiti is not a Latin American Country.
The strength of the Cuban people is unmatched.
THANKU!!!
Thank you for doing this series more people need to know ..
Thanks so much for these series. It's so professionally done and the host is just beautiful too. thanks for opening our eyes and thanks for ALL the help you've given to Jamaica.
Thank you for sharing.
Cuba is a great country it’s people is hard working and resilient. Long live Cuba..
That is really funny. How many times have you been to see the poverty of Cuba????
@@mianfeng4406 Have you seen the poverty in the rural and urban areas of the United States? But, the U.S. is touted as a great nation. Funny, eh?
Cuba is incredibly poor with the Communist elites and cadres at the top of the food chain. They are not poor. It is the folly of trying to create a "classless society" by putting the Party at the top of society with total access to all power. "Power" is never 'democratized' in Socialism.
I just finished watching episodes 1nd 2. Fantastic videos! Truthful and honest! Please post more!
Excelente documental
Thanks for this
Thank you
I love the work you're doing. I am of Cuban and Jamaican descent. I speak to my family in Cuba and it's painful to know how things are and how they suffer. Keep getting the information out!
Fantastically done!!!! Sending love to Cuba and all the wonderful people ❤🇨🇦
Thank you for showing this side of Cuba!
Amazing!!!
Liz I love how you tell the story , you are engaging ..
Stay safe and stay strong my Cuban friends .Long live the spirit of the revolution.
Excellent video! Thank you.
Great job
Love it!
I’m Canadian and I love Cuba 💗
Go live there 😢😢😢😢
@@chavezdayan82 Tim Horton's Canada gave trips to Cuba before c-19 !
Beautiful short/documentary!!
Wow❤ty so much for sharing
Good work on contents and great journalism! Thank you
Enjoyable and informative. I hope to one day visit your unique country.
Great video!
Learning the truth about Cuba 🇨🇺
Solo Liz Oliva sabe cómo andar La Habana en tacones...Muy bueno este capítulo, genial la parte sobre Lyhen y el guion muy bien organizado... espero los próximos capítulos!!!
Hold my café con leche
Let’s work on making Cuba a better place to live. 🇨🇺 is Beautiful
Thank you for sharing your story, it gives a perspective I rarely hear about.
I've watched first 2 episodes and look forward to watching more.
Excellent video & big respect for Cuba. I remember when Cuba helped Mandela. I’m going to share this post on Facebook 🖐🏿
When Caribbean people work together they do not like to see it. The Monroe Doctrine should be thrown out completely Cubans are smart people the more they push you all the more creativity will develop it’s sad you all are experiencing this Bless you all fellow Empress from 🇯🇲
The Monroe Doctrine is the devil. We can never fully be free 🇯🇲
Closed minds will never see that unity of the people which lives thru us all.
The Monroe Doctrine protect AMERICAN countries for being invading for European countries,,,get yourself more info about this topic.
Very well done program.
Excellent video muchas gracious
Stay Strong Cuba.
Excited for this! First episode was great. Can't wait to see more! 😁
Love your video and love Cuba I am from Canada and your video brings tears to my eyes. I go for several months every year to Habana to cycle and enjoy the culture. My dream would be to meet with you to learn more about the culture and people. Thank you for your beautiful video!
This series is so damn good.
I wish I could help Cubans , we need associations that bring funds from all over the world to the Cuban people , saludos desde Túnez a la gente cubana
Nah gotta get rid of the bully first
Love this doc. Just kind of was looking into what was going on in Cuba. Beautiful people and beautiful land. I would love to go to Cuba and experience the culture but even more, help a few families. But I can't. Because of the governments we live under. It's a shame.
I was planning a trip to Cuba until Trump screwed up everything. Sad that we (USA) are responsible for the suffering of so many people.
@@shotimemillionaire It's really the governments of both countries that are responsible. The people in both countries don't want the people of Cuba to suffer in any. Do we actually think that if I was a millionaire even if the US let me go to Cuba to help the people personally that the Cuban government would allow it? No. The help or money would have to go through the Cuban government. Cuban authorities would take and say they will delegate the help. There is a whole world out there Cuba. Businesses all over the world. If anyone wants to do any type of business in Cuba they have to go through the government of Cuba. That's a problem for the people of Cuba. Let's face it. The problems in Cuba are bigger then the U.S. embargo.
@@kelsowilz2522 Agreed. And the first positive steps toward easing the embargo were in the works when Obama was in office. During that time we saw many remarkable changes in Cuba. Perhaps if Biden/Harris win the election they'll reverse the Trump executive order and reinstate the Obama executive order with improvements. And we'll get to see what Cuba can become when both governments embrace change for the betterment of its people.
@@shotimemillionaire You are completely wrong, those socialists or communists have starved and state terrorism to more than 150 million inhabitants, they especially hate blacks in the way that the Spanish never mistreated slaves. Those who are in Cuba are the children of the Spaniards who killed 800,000 Cuban slaves in the 30 years that the independence war lasted.
Those who gave us our freedom were the US allies. So thanks to the heroic US Marines they have not exterminated all human beings on this planet. Do you think you are smarter than the millions of people from 220 countries who flee to the US every year? If the US is so bad, why is everyone fleeing to the US? In this life you have to have common sense. In life, practical facts are worth, and not the advertisements of the communist television CNN, New yor Time. The TV Soros and the Deep State.
Very good! So informative.
Wow I learned so much. This story is fascinating
Excelente material. #NoMasBloqueo VS #Cuba
Solidaridad con mis Hermanos Cubanos desde México
Wow this made me cry.....
Great story , very informative
This is just so frustrating.
I disagree. The frustrating part is the lack of awareness of the ameri3Kan tribe. That by voting support these types of crimes.
@@tiberio1352 I agree with both of you. And consider the fact that, if you go to any of those RUclips channels of investors who are always talking about the stimulus checks, you'll find people making the same comments such as how the government doesn't care about the people, and how our politicians should be voted out of office. You see these same comments month after month, but these people and the American people in general won't do anything--except continue to bitch.
Yes, it is.
@@everforward8651 Fact of the matter is that people in the u.s., for the most part, do not give a rat's ass of what is going on in Cuba or anywhere else. Period.
@@tiberio1352 You're right (unfortunately.)
Cuba is the safest country ive ever been to. The people are amazing! See you soon!
because any minor crime on a tourist is punishable by death but yea it is safe
Crime anywhere in Cuba is highly punishable. Which in terms decreases crime. I been there and agree with the original statement
Great documentary ✊🏾
Your journalism is perfect.... Keep up the beautiful work....
Love these videos. Looking forward to part 3
Gracias, por este video ej de como frena y lacera nuestra economía, Abajo el bloqueo a Cuba 🇨🇺
Excellent presentation and keep informing the world. We see you and hear you. A new day is coming when you will be able to install a participatory social democracy government. Such beautiful people who suffer under horrible circumstances.
Hola. This video made me sad. Had to share it. Amo cuba!
Great video
A thousand thank yous for these powerful pieces by way of speaking truth to power❣keep em coming 🌈✌🏽
God Bless your Mother! ZILLIONES DE BENDICIONES A TI Y TU MADRE!

Genial 👏 felicidades por tan excelente trabajo, lo necesitamos desde hace décadas.
Excelente presentación.
God bless Cuba. When I visited I cried because I felt as if I lived there in a previous life
it is really life changing.
Why didn’t you stay?
Excellent documentary my sister.
I am almost 60 yrs of age, and I am unlearning mostcid what I was taught years ago. I hope to visit Cuba one day
Press on, brothers and sisters. Positive change will come.
A people as resilient and creative as yours cannot stay oppressed.
Anything I see of Cuba give me the same impression
Really liking this new series, I hope things can change for the better.
Muy bien hecho! Gracias.
Great job...you are the voice of truth 🙏
amazing work!!!, I’ll hopefully be back in Havana to visit my girlfriend and family on December 31st🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Gracias por tu video. Pase diez dias en Havana hace exactamente un ano y ame la ciudad y la gente.
Con el nuevo gobierno en los Estados Unidos espero que Cuba pueda crecer y reanudar relaciones mas normales con el resto del mundo. Todos se lo merecen. Un besito desde Escocia!
Great job... very informative.
Such an amazing short, sweet informative documentary. Nice cuban chica 2
This was perfect. Much love from 🇨🇦
It is heartbreaking to see how people are made to suffer because of different political points of views .
Having been there, my heart hurts for these beautiful people. And when I tell people what I learned, I'm told I've been lied to. Thank you for this program. I hope to be able to reconnect with the friends I made while there. Hope maybe on the horizon with our regime change here. Keep the stories coming
Am ghanaian diaspora germany. Long live Cuba. There Cuban doctors in Ghana and ghanaian students came to Cuba to study. Spiritually with Cuba
Que excelentes videos, el pueblo cubano siempre un ejemplo de resiliencia para el mundo entero, y usted Liz no se que es más grande si su inteligencia o su belleza, pero ambas son igualmente maravillosas. Felicitaciones por todo su trabajo y ojalá siga educándonos con temas tan desconocidos fuera de Cuba. Reciba un cálido saludo desde México.
Every time I watch this series I get distracted by how pretty this woman is 😖😖
Amazing series! Thank you...very well done. Great tool for the US public to understand the ongoing US war on Cuba.
They should also understand the lack of freedoms in Cuba, and the constant human right violations that its government engages in, every day. A 60 years + dictatorship.
Your work is awesome...and the love you all show towards your country is super patriotic. Keep up the good work.
Love the video! The US thinks they can label other countries as regimes and that automatically gives them the right to perform coups and dismantle foreign governments. In the end, most of this comes down the the US being afraid of of socialism and communism. Please don’t reply to this comment if you are just going to be mean to me or criticize me for my political opinion.
The world have so much to learn from Cuba and cubanos... Siempre adelante, viva la revolucion!
.. 👉 *¡VETE A VIVIR A CUBA ENTONCES!*
Very good, very informative, very true
Genial!!! Sencillamente genial!!!
I wish we, the entire world, would adopt a ' one world,one planet' way of thinking . And stop spending on destruction and spand on the people of earth!
This was a dope piece sista! I subscribed and look forward to more content
Very interesting video!
Bravo, I am sharing with all.
