Cuba: A lifetime of passion (A film by Glenn Gebhard)

Cuba: A Lifetime of Passion (2006)

Directed by Glenn Gebhard

Produced by Mario Congreve, Brian Sisselman, Glenn Gebhard

Narrated by Michael York

While several recent documentaries have focused on life in present-day Cuba, this video covers more than 50 years of Cuban history, beginning with Fidel Castro’s efforts to overthrow President Fulgencio Batista and the subsequent triumph of the revolution in 1959, and carrying through to U.S. attempts to overthrow Castro, the exodus of Cubans to the U.S. over the years, and the current state of Cuba. The history is related in narration by British actor Michael York, and is supplemented with comments by Cubans from all walks of life, Cuban exiles now in the U.S., and American scholars and government officials.
