- 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.
My Cuban brothers and sisters love from Jamaica.
This journalist is gorgeous.
many cubans are jamaicans and viceversa...me great great grandmother was jamaican and emigrated to cuba...rita marley is cuban
Love from this Jamaican too.
lol My bredren here speaks for all of us.
I am Jamaican and Cuban decent. I hope one day to visit Cuba and connect to that part of my culture. The Cubans in my family moved to Jamaica and married Jamaican women 😉
I had a Jamaican friend in college. Caribbean brothers 💪
What they have done to Cuba and Haiti is criminal.
Well said 💯
Wadat Musik What has anyone done to Cuba ???
cuba deserves better.
@Sepia Lover you havent been doing a lot of reading i presume.
they are grossly over representing black cubans when they make up 10% of the population Cuba is 77% white its white country but they are trying to make it that mostly black people live there
A question to everyone who says that the blockade doesn't do anything and that the biggest impediment to Cuban development is the internal blockade: If the blockade isn't important and the government blames the blockade on everything, why support the blockade? Wouldn't it be better for the blockade to be lifted? That way the government wouldn't have anything to blame. If socialist economies are so bad because they are centrally planned, why not let them destroy themselves without any sabotages?
Exactly.
I was about to say that, gusanos will say oh the blockade is no big deal, then proceed to support it.
I'm certainly not a believer in communism however what you say is 100% correct. If it is so bad, it will destroy itself. No reason for America to make the Cuban people suffer even more.
Mr. Rafael, it's more than what meets the eye with America's blockage on Cuba. You're not wrong with point of view. Respect to you
Check out part 2!
We in Zimbabwe empathise and sympathise with you. You are a big hearted people. We remember your valiant support during our darkest phase when we laboured under British colonial rule.
We wish 🤞 you the best.
Thanks for sharing the real cuba. More people need to see this to have a better understanding of Cuba and not just the superficial leisure some may perceive it for. I love your country particularly the people and its natural beauty...viva cuba 🇨🇺 🇨🇺 🇨🇺
Thank for producing this important documentary. Being married to a Cuban and having spent most of last year living in Havana and observing the impact of the embargo (and a seemingly ever-growing list of regulations) first-hand, there is no question that the US Gov't has absolutely no interest in the well-being and freedom of the Cuban people (or the Venezuelans, Bolivians, the list goes on...). As this doc points out, everything they do, they do in the name of money and power. The Cuban Gov't is far from perfect (but that's a whole other conversation...); that said, the embargo has done nothing to end the struggles of the Cuban people, only exacerbate them. It's not up to the US (or Cuban Americans who left the island) to dismantle the system. Let they, themselves, focus on the country they call home that is woefully flawed in its own right.
You are wrong on that the Cubans leaving abroad have no voice in the betterment of Cuba. They were in many cases forced to leave or threatened with prison If not doing so.
@@Earth-dream99 I don't disagree with you on that; hence, me saying that the Cuban Gov't is so far from perfect. I guess the big question (for me, at least) would be how different would things be for the Cuban people (with this same government) had the blockade never existed or if it had been lifted? Would the citizens be thriving? As a Canadian, with access to universal healthcare and subsidized education costs, who had a home in the US and spent part of my childhood there, I can confidently say that the social services provided to myself and my fellow Canadians have been nothing short of advantageous. Fundamentally, the government participating in civic life and the well-being of its citizens is a good thing. I would bet the blockade has prevented a lot of the good things happening for Cubans (and I will never buy into the "argument" that the US wants better for the Cuban people or other citizens living in countries with a repressive regime, when the US Gov't picks and chooses which repressive regimes to support depending on what they get out of it - it's not coming from a place of empathy, compassion or altruism is my argument), though certainly not everything can - or should - be blamed on it, and the Cuban government is certainly on a power trip to the detriment of the Cuban people.
@@JackieO2085 Yes, I guess they will be thriving like in Nicaragua, Venezuela where there is no bloqueo . I understand that the USA plays as other countries play based on their best interest, that being said The authoritarian regime in Cuba is the one afraid of allowing full economic opportunities to their people 'cos that implies political power as well down the road. Their Marxist ideology is sick, no free speech, freedom of assembly, no free press, the police are political. I was born and raised in Cuba. By the way. I love Canada, lived there for a while, peace
@@Earth-dream99 You make a good case, and we are (mostly) in agreement. Embargo aside, I do wish that Cuba was more free for its people. All the best to you.
Jacqueline Stein The Cuban government is the problem . The Cuban people should free themselves from the tyrannical rule of the Castro regime
I support the struggle of the people in Cuba. The U.S. needs to end the Embargo!!!
The Cuban government needs to end the embargo on their own people first.
@SERGIO VALENS a si es
Give the great people of Cuba their land and ownership of their businesses back then we can talk
@@ChampaBayBeast You are talking to the wrong person. My people were stolen from their home land in chains and brought to America. I agree that theft of people, property, and and land is wrong and against God, and that justice she reign for all.
and covid plandamic!!
Great job, to Luna and the whole team. Honest, engaging, this moment in time allows the beauty of Cuba and the Cuban people, even during most difficult times, to shine through. Viva Cuba 🇨🇺
Dias canel singaoooooo
Free Cuba from military dictatorship. 😥
@@juanserrano7079 así mismo brother, abajo con la dictadura y que viva una Cuba verdaderamente libre🇨🇺
what the fuck is honest about this?
Solidarity from UK 🙏💚
EVERY country/man has a right to his OWN destiny!! No other country/man should determine how another should live!! That's ungodly!! Cuba will rise again because her people are self-determined!! Stay strong in your belief of your own sovereignty!! United you stand, divided you'll fall. And, if you fall, at least it'll be on your terms!!!💕💯
My son married a beautiful woman over 5 years and she has a heart of gold.. She lives in Guantanamo and I wished I can visit soon as I want to hug her so much.. thank you for this ..
I was fortunate to visit Habana last year, in December. The people were poor in economics, but rich in pride. I felt so bad because I was running out of cash, but wanted to buy something from everyone. Everyone asked me the same questions about the Presidency, and yes, I'm voting to get rid of Trump. Not just cash, but I brought 40 pounds of supplies. Notebooks, pens, markers, batteries, fishing line, and baseballs. What I didn't give to the church or mosque, I just gave away to people on the street. I gave my last baseball to a cab driver, as a tip. I still think about going back one day, walking the Malec'on after midnight. Safest I ever felt. I have two bottles of Legendario, that I won't crack open until the embargo is lifted.
@@TheWhale45 My taxes won't double, student loans paid off, my job can't be shipped off. You can kiss the unwashed taint of a hobo.
Very appropriate in this moment when the protests are on Cuba. Thanks Oliver! This sounds like true!
I really enjoyed this Part 1. I am looking forward to all other episodes. I grew up in South Florida only 35 miles north of Miami. Coming from a large family of 8 children with my Father working as a public school teacher. We never could afford much of a vacation. Usually only camping in the Florida Keys.
I remember the Cuban Refugees float across the Florida Straits in make shift rafts. Cuban refugees worked hard to succeed in the USA. The Cuban refugees are honest and hard working.
I hope that Trump loosens up trade with Cuba.
Thank you so much for this channel! My father fought in Angola on the side of MPLA and it is my dream to be able to visit (and hopefully live in!) Cuba. You can’t believe how much of a breath of fresh air this channel is and I hope you can avoid all those reactionaries that I’m sure are on their way here to spam you guys! Hasta la victoria!!!
thank you
@@BellyofTheBeastCuba i am in love wiht you girl so beautiful
The reporter is gorgeous.
When this pandemic is done, I'm definitely visiting Cuba, they're a wonderful people.
If you want to visit skip the Resorts, you won't see Cuba there.
this is very good journalism. Paz y Bendiciones a Cuba y la gente
GOSTEI. O FILME CURTO MOSTRA COM CLAREZA O MAL QUE O BLOQUEIRO DOS ESTADOS UNIDOS CAUSA AO POVO CUBANO, À CUBA, TOTALMENTE. #fORAESTADOSuNIDOS
Besteira.
Por que Cuba quer negociar com o mundo??
Para comprar carros da GM?? comprar computadores da Dell??
Cadê o discurso contra o capitalismo malvadão??
Aliás, o proletariado cubano tomou os meios de produção e não produz carros, roupas, remédios e sapatos??
Your country will eventually get sick of the lies of socialism and join
the rest of the world's economy.
Dê uma olhada no Google Memorando Lester Mallory e todos saberão a verdade sobre a realidade atual de Cuba
Omg I loved this!!!! Learning so much more. Will keep watching :)
You are not learning anything those are all lies the only people that keep us down in poverty misery and oppression is the communist regime stablished by the Castros since 1959. 62 years in power by force no body wants them there. They are the government because if you say otherwise they’ll persecute you incarcerate you torture you and kill you. This video many of their tools to keep public opinion on their side. #COMMUNISTPROPAGANDA
Excellent commentary, vive Cuba. Never surrender to América the tyrant and unforgiving.
Well told. Effortless charisma and engaging journalism. Great work!
Don’t you remember the It’s bringing in the bombs that’s why you got what you got we can’t trust you and the nation you’re too close and you’re well people to come in with armed and get us that’s why you got what you got You can’t really tell you the truth you have bumps are your pattern for a long time they were in and add us to yes we have to do somethingYou need to get rid of your government and get something new before you get out of this trouble
I've been to Cuba many times with my husband. We never stay in 'all inclusives'. We stay in 'casa de rentas' with Cubans and Cuban neighbors. This is a beautiful country with beautiful people. Far from perfect. My comment is regarding the section that starts at time stamp 9:18 when the journalist talks about Trump and his business interests in in Cuba. He is such a hippocrate.
I would love to go to Cuba and talk to some locals... As soon as the pandemic allows I’ll be there....
That would be dope fam also check my RUclips and IG out realsabirbey
@@sabirbeythatraveler07 Oh for sure... Say no more
Beautiful people beautiful pre coloniser buildings too
@@KarleneMcleanShow I'm excited
@thegrumbler100 that’s unfortunate…. Hopefully that’s not true….
I love this series. It’s great because the journalist is a Cuban!
Yeah, she's a mouthpiece for the Cuban government. There is no free press in Cuba. You publish what the goveernment tells you to, or you don't work and likely get thrown in jail.
@@gregb6469 exactly
Excellent!
I heard there are no leaders, look at her, looks like a leader to me. Un besote grande y gracias por todo lo que haces. Te esperan grandes cosas.
They are doing same with Iran
This is sad, you all look such nice people. I hope it changes
Its disgusting and I am voting against Trump next week.
Amen to that🙏...
So glad Biden won!!!!!
Biden is worse

Brother no gastes tu tiempo. Ellos no te van a enseñar la verdad. Estos come pingas solo pueden hacer estas cosas desde cuba con el permiso del gobierno cubano y ellos son los quienes controlan el Guillén. ósea este video es un video de propaganda claro no te dirán la verdad.
That's a shame!
@@androrobuiques9497 correct. Esto es un anuncio pagado por el gobierno cubano
This video is funded by the Cuban Government. The real Cuba is people protesting against Communism and the current government and been either jailed or disappeared.
@@Juan.Irizar I totally believe you but I'd like to find solid proof for this. You know how, for example when you watch a video from Reuters, you get a notification under the video saying "This video is paid for by the Russian Government" some thing like that
I just started watching this series, thank you for making! How has Cuba changed since the early 2000s? I heard it improved after Obama took office but you never know what to believe...
Oh I’m sorry to tell you Cuba didn’t improve after Obama. We still have a totalitarian regime. A dictatorship. A communist dictatorship. People are dying ont the streets right now asking for freedom and asking for help. #SOSCuba
@@alicialopez5290 How do they die on street asking for freedom. you did not say nothing but. Cuba was a big drug problem and the movie scar face with al pacheno . Trump in this video Saying LITTLE HAVANA is exactly what and how tony put it in movie. Any way all people should be free . but crime is every place and not no one big or small trying to take it. notice how little things seem odd and grow bigger and sooner or later your house has a gate with lock but you don't have the key. All freedom for keeps for Good people. People begin to know one is bad or good . every one has a little bad in them and that's life but dangerous in all terms not any one will except. we never should loose this Identity. PEACE ✌ with practice in caring. God help us all
Wow, I don't know that the US sanctions on Cuba has adverse effect on it. Thanks so much for shedding light on it.
The sanctions till Trump added some new ones, only made things pricier,. It’s the Cuban government, that has run the economy into the ground; & refuses to take responsibility.
Nice work!
I really appreciate this video as it gives a better picture of the reality of the economic sanctions imposed by USA and how it's impacting Cuban people. The Florida Cuban community who are anti-Castro will do anything to destroy Cuba because their interests are power and wealth.
Cuba is a wonderful place to live until you develop an allergic reaction to long food lines, food scarcity, substandard medical care and housing, and heavy-handed government restrictions on speech, movement, and employment options.
Love how this doc unmasks the true nature of Cuba's woes. The embargo is criminal and immoral and those who support it are complicit in this almost genocidal practice of regime change!!! Viva Cuba and Patria O Muerte!!!
This got me soo hyyyyyped
Be strong dont lose your hope. There is something they can never take from you, if you don't let them💪
Great reporting. Thanks
Abajo el bloqueo 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
The more the brainwashed Americans hate Cuba, the more I like them. The Revolution Lives.
Very, very few Americans hate Cuba. We Americans love Cuba, and the Cuban people; it's Cuba's BS government we hate, because we see how miserable it is making the Cuban people.
The Embargo should be declare a War Crime by the United Nations, totally unjust, just to please a few Cubans in Florida.
It's an action of the international Bourgeoisie class.
This is done so well!
Viva Cuba... love this country to bits and what they have done for my country's liberation. They have educated more people outside our borders more than any country. Lastly their culture is rich and authentic
Thank you so much
I work for the trucking business and many trucking companies know that many ships go from the USA to Cuba with goods.
If USA is worried about human rights violations in Cuba they should get out of Guantánamo Bay.
Florida voted for Trump mainly
Cuban Americans
yea she literally talks about that towards the end of the video
@@mhgr129 my bad, I typed before the end of the video
I love Cuba a lot - a brave people in a beautiful country
Free health care and education? You must not be very good with math...when you make $20 a month...you have paid a very high price for those services !!!
and here in America they want to charge $50,000 and up for surgeries even if you make $10 an hour with insurance that doesn't cover shit. Make that math make sense!
#America blockades #Cuba and then points the finger and says #Communism doesn't work. 🤦🏻♀️🤬
I'm glad I was able to visit Cuba
Myth #3: The U.S. embargo is the cause of Cuba’s economic suffering.
Realities:
• Cuba can sell to and buy from most countries except the U.S.
Food and medicines are not part of the U.S. embargo and Cuba can purchase
them from the U.S.
• The U.S. is not the cheapest country for Cuba to buy food, technology, etc.
• Cuba does not have the financial resources to purchase great quantities of needed
products in the world market and Cuba’s priorities are military spending and
support for international causes. These are the reasons there are shortages of
consumer goods in Cuba.
• Cuba’s state dominated economy, like that of the former Soviet Union is unproductive, inefficient, riddled with mismanagement and corruption.
• The suffering of the Cuban people is not the result of the U.S. embargo, but of a failed economy dominated by the Castro brothers and the military for 60 years. (Jaime Suchlicki)
So how can you tell that the Cuban government is causing a failed economy rather than the 60 year economic blockade and the sanctions? You must be a genius.
The only way to find out for sure is by lifting the embargo. They seemed to do better when Obama lifted the restrictions. Go figure.
@@KrisTube2022 But Cuba rejected Obama's opening to Cuba which he offered with no conditions. Fidel Castro denounced President Obama’s attempt to restore relations with Cuba in a 1,500-word letter Sunday, a week after the president’s historic visit to the country.
"We don’t need the empire to give us any presents," Castro said in the piece, which was published in the Cuban Communist Party’s official newspaper and titled "El hermano Obama" or "Brother Obama." He wrote that Cubans are self-sufficient and "able to produce food and material wealth we need with the effort and intelligence of our people." (The Washington Free Beacon, among many other sources).
@@VILJL I live in Las Vegas, tourism is a big part of our economy, I’m sure tourism will do wonders for Cuba. So yeah, the embargo should be lifted.
"Cuba can sell to and buy from most countries except the U.S."
Any ship company trading in Cuba has its vessel banned to trade at American ports for 2 years.
You are lying, sir. There is a practical prohibition. Ship voyages are expensive, if the company is forced to choose between trading to USA or to Cuba, what would they do? USA is the top exports buyer globally.
I'm not cuban... but I never understood why the cubans in the US blame cuba for the problems... I thought they would be mad at the Us... but as I said I'm not cuban so I didn't push it. But now I find this video, which this is the perspective I expected to see from Cubans... But I'm going to watch part 2 to see if the direction changes.
You've got a good story here. I cant wait to see more. Question: Do you think Biden will reverse the blockade?
Who else doesn't have to read the subtitles when they are speaking Spanish because soy 100% Cubano! 👋🤠🇨🇺
Your documentary is really good 👍. I learned a lot. I need assistance on coming to Cuba to support Afro Cubans businesses. Where to eat and have fun? Your part of Cuba, where is that on the map?
We need to share information of how to do or get things done
Learning a lot!

When the story is great AND the journalist is drop dead gorgeous!!!
You realize this video doesn’t get out unless it’s approved by the government. She works for the government! She’s speaking about how the ruling class is struggling while the impoverished has been that way for decades. Even when they had plenty, they were still oppressing people

The worst part is that the fisherman cant sell their fish and the farmers cant sell their potatoes. Also Cubans get paid in pesos but the food stores only accept dollars. Bad Bad Embargo. Thank good everybody is aloud to have internet and you tube journalists like this cutie here. Can show us what really going on.
I'm hoping and praying the day will return where we can visit our revolutionary brothers and sisters and help them. Viva Cuba! Abajo con Trump!
Your revolutionary brothers? You are sickening the only reason why we are so oppressed, starving and in misery is because of Castro’s dictatorship. The communist psychopaths of Fidel Castro and Raul Castro and all their communist allies have killed and torture thousands of Cubans. Is a shame that there’s dumb people like you defending their monstrosity and all the violations of humans rights they commit against innocent children men and women. Trump has actually been the only president in these recent years that have treated dictatorships like the evil system they are. I’m disgusted that people do not unite against evil and immoral communist dictatorship but instead blame the people that recognize the truth and stand by it. This is insane I did not know the extent of the brain wash of the communist ideology until I escape communism myself. This is nuts hope you see the light one day. LOL #InsanityIsReal

I support the Cuban people and the Cuban government 100%. The U.S. government telling Cuba what it should with its own country through an economic embargo and threats is a criminal act that is only supported by some Cubans in the U.S. whose only interest is making money off of the island at any cost, including at the expense of Cuba's people. that is what capitalism is all about: MAKING A PROFIT AT ANY COST.
This is a really interesting channel. It's refreshing to get another point of view of Cuba, and, yes, the host is really cute. I am gonna subscribe.
