Synopsis
Documentary that sheds light on the history and culture of Cuban Americans. Roughly 12 percent of Cuba's population has fled -- which swelled the Cuban American population from roughly 30,000 before the 1959 Cuban revolution to the current population of approximately 1.2 million. Using archival film and photographs blended with modern footage of communities in Miami, Florida; Union City, New Jersey; and New York City, the program explores the waves of migration in the second half of the last century and their impact on both the people who came and the places where they settled.
