It disgusts me to see how many people dare to say that this film does not reflect Cuba's reality. Well, I can tell you from first hand as a 16 year old Cuban who lived JUST about ENOUGH of that regime at the age of 11, and I can tell you this is not HALF of what goes on in Cuba, this movie made me cry my eyes out because it breaks my heart to see what people are willing to do in order to free themselves of what a man's greed put us through and who ever doesn't believe me I challenge them to try to survive a month in Cuba with in the same career you have here, just the amount a Cuban would get paid and then we'll talk. Nurses make: $14.00 a month and neurosurgeons: $27.00 a month, I think I have said enough with that. It's a heart wrecking reality that affects anyone who understands it, but if you are not experienced enough to understand it like I do because although I might be short of age I have lived many things that many people haven't. I beg you to not insult the grief my country and my people suffer, and consider how painful it is to see your country falling apart and tearing down moral values with it. People willing to risk their lives looking for a better horizon like my mother who was lucky and blessed to have made it through, but please don't forget all those grave less souls whose bodies lay at the bottom of the ocean or in a sharks belly, or simply in a Cuban cell... This movie is simply a mirror of a few yet horrifying truth that the Cuban society faces today, and 50 years ago.
