Some things in this documentary are correct, but others aren’t. Yes, Cubans are literate, but they aren’t allowed to have freedom of thought or different opinions of the government. So, to be able to read, but not allowed to read whatever you want as an adult is like being illiterate. Also, yes, they have national healthcare, however, it’s better that you die at home, than go into one of those health facilities. I was born in Cuba and when I was a little boy my father refused to sign the rights of his children to the government; making me a ward of the state, so he went to jail for 2 years to pay for his disobedience and to agree to have us claimed by a family in Florida. Hence, when he got out of jail, we all were given free passage to the US. The other major reason my dad did this was because my mom also was sick and they refused to cure her because it would cost to much. After making it to the states my mom was cured of her illness within several weeks. She just needed the right medicine that Cuba had, but didn’t give her. So, literacy and healthcare are government propaganda to a certain extent. We are black and mulatto Cubans and it has always been much better for us here in the US than in any other country that we have lived in. Spain, Italy, England, Switzerland… etc. Not because of race relations, but because Cuba is a Socialist/Communist government that tells you from day one what to think. It’s a beautiful and rich country, but you can have all that ideology. I rather have freedom of thought and pragmatism.
Damn
Cuba is not Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain your Americans now
