Cuba and Beyond...The Journey

Cuba and Beyond...The Journey, is the true story of a privileged Cuban family pursuing a life of distinguished medical service until Fidel Castro comes to power and their world collapses overnight. Their ever-increasing suffering is accompanied by a years-long plight to escape the clutches of Castro's merciless regime. The story focuses on Felipe, a prosperous surgeon, and his wife Clara, a psychologist, who are left behind in Cienfuegos, known as La Perla del Sur (the Pearl of the South), to face the increasing repressions and deprivations of a despotic and violent government. This highly personal and memorable story shares how the historic events of the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the arrival of 43,000 Russian troops impacts the daily lives of Felipe, Clara, their family, and friends. All of them witness their beautiful Cienfuegos, homeland, and culture deteriorate as the Cuban people descend inexorably into despair, until recent events provide a glimmer of hope and restoration.
