Synopsis

Most people who live in the United States have heard the media and the US government demonize Cuba, its leaders, and its system. However, have you ever wanted to know what Cuba is really like? In other words, if the US media and government have been guilty of covering up covert operations and fabricating other misconceptions in order to deceive the American public, couldn’t it be possible that Cuba is another such case? Why would the US continue perpetuating their Cold War rhetoric about Cuba? Furthermore, why do we still have an economic embargo against this tiny Caribbean nation? Ever since the US imposed the Trade Embargo on Cuba in 1962, Cuba has been seen by Americans as the “forbidden fruit” that lies only 90 miles from the United States. This Embargo has also made it nearly impossible for American citizens to visit Cuba legally. Author Jason Old decided that listening to the media and US Government about Cuba wasn’t enough, and therefore decided to embark on a life-changing trip to Cuba to see for himself what the real Cuba was like behind the embargo. Join author Jason Old on his travels across Cuba to get a better sense of the Cuban socialist system, the country’s history, people and everything else that make this controversial Caribbean country so inspiring for some, yet so despised by others.
