Cubanos draws an impressionist portrait of the international Cuban community, whose identity has been fragmented by 48 years of dictatorship, as it struggles to leave the 20th century behind. Cubanos draws and impressionistic portrait of a Cuban community fragmented by 48 years of dictatorship. Catuey, a Cuban musician now living in Canada, travels with filmmaker Yan Giroux throughout Cuba. Filming illegally, they are unable to show their subjects faces, a formal constraint that becomes an aesthetic symptom of the crumbling landscape of Cuban communism. Catuey revisits a Cuba that is full of music, but also riddled with misery and corruption, where the black market for stolen government rations is one of the only thriving industries. Filmmaker Yan Giroux transforms the chaos of reality into a set of evocative signs, painting a complex portrait of a people held prisoner by their history, and scanning the day-to-day lives of Cubans in Cuba and Miami for vestiges of the revolutionary dream that has been tattered by so much disillusionment. In Miami, the very active Cuban community hangs on to its national identity, but Catuey sees a disconnect between the perceptions of those living in the United States and the realities of their homeland As Cubans on both sides of the straights of Florida struggle to leave the events of the 20th century behind, Cubanos is a road movie that takes us to the heart of their struggle.

Fred Dutton was Special Assistant to US President John F. Kennedy at the time President Kennedy considered committing resources to Vietnam. He characterizes Kennedy as a cautious man, but one who for strategic reasons wanted to stem the spread of communism in Asia. However, Dutton says this was far down Kennedy’s list of priorities, well below domestic issues. Dutton is critical of those who would take Vietnam out of the context of all other issues faced by the President, such as the need to appear strong following the Bay of Pigs. He also discusses the thinking behind the President’s appointing Averell Harriman to coordinate Southeast Asia policy at the State Department.

Kattenberg states that the continued support of Ngo Dinh Diem was decided by the US Ambassador to Vietnam Frederick Reinhardt. During this period the United States was not yet fully involved in Vietnam and considered to be subordinate to the French.
