In March of 2001, forty years after the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, five Cuban-American Veterans traveled to Havana for an international conference devoted to the invasion. For some it was the first time they had stepped foot on Cuban soil since their release from Castro’s prisons in 1963. But all of them understood that their presence in Havana would put them on a collision course with the often violent Cuban-American political forces in south Florida. A list of notables traveled with them: including Richard Goodwin; Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.; JFK’s sister, Jean Kennedy Smith; and Sam Halpern, the ex-CIA operative who ran Kennedy's infamous Operation Mongoose, the goal of which had been the assassination of Fidel Castro. Appropriate counterparts on the Cuban side were expected to attend, including the Commandante himself.

The screen of WELCOME remains black throughout most all the film as the actual dialogue reveals the filmmaker, ZHU Rikun being "welcomed" by Chinese government officials and being encouraged to make a film that satisfies their goal of presenting favorable news ("scenic " views of the area). Their "welcome" attempts to disguise government censorship through bullying and threats to the filmmaker. The Chinese Government workers do not want the filmmaker to document the lives of mine workers with pneumoconiosis and their trials and tribulations seeking compensation from the government. WELCOME records the dialogue between the filmmaker and government officials who obviously prize economic development above human rights and don't want the public to know how blatant they are about this. WELCOME presents the filmmaker, ZHU Rikun as one who protests and persists in telling the truth. He is a Revolutionist.
