Cuba: A Lifetime of Passion<br />
NEW!<br />
With unprecedented access to Cubans on both sides of the Florida<br />
Straits, Cuba: A Lifetime of Passion looks at the present-day reality<br />
of the Cuban Revolution and its uncertain post-Castro future, and<br />
the conflicts that have engulfed Cuba for the past six decades. The<br />
Cuban Revolution took place before many Cubans today were even<br />
born. But what is the legacy of this historic movement? What will<br />
happen to the government and to the island nation’s citizens after<br />
the Castro brothers are no longer in power? Through a series of<br />
revealing sequences shot in Cuba and the United States, as well<br />
as interviews with individuals who fall on all sides of this issue:<br />
pro-Castro Communists and oppositionists in Cuba, U.S. Department<br />
of State personnel, academics, and Cubans “stranded in<br />
exile” in Miami, this thought-provoking documentary considers<br />
Cuba’s past and future, and the legacy of a revolutionary regime<br />
that has been in power for 157 years.<br />

Unforgotten: A documentary<br />
about the experiences of Vietnamese<br />
citizens after the US departure<br />
Life was impossibly difficult for Vietnamese citizens after the<br />
fall of Saigon. The soldiers who had fought for the Republic of<br />
Vietnam were forced into hard labor in Communist prisons called<br />
“re-education camps.” Their families found it difficult to locate<br />
them and even harder to be able to visit them or get them muchneeded<br />
food and medical attention. There was harsh discrimination<br />
against those who had been citizens of South Vietnam.<br />
Their stories are told through eyewitness accounts and archival<br />
photos. You will hear powerful personal experiences from those<br />
who survived, who were eventually released (through US<br />
intervention) and who made their way here.<br />
