I saw a GREAT documentary tonight at the Colony Theater...!! , Carlos Montaner's "The Grandchildren of the Cuban Revolution" :clapping:

"The Grandchildren of the Cuban Revolution is an uncompromisingly frank, fresh account of Cubas youth after more than 50 years of that islands life under one single government.

After five decades of official ideology and a formidably regimented campaign to create El Hombre Nuevo, this 60-minute documentary allows us to discover the many hidden textures of Cubans under 35, the majority of the films participants born after the revolutionary victory of 1959. Candid, fast-paced and irreverent, The Grandchildren of the Cuban Revolution lets its own interviewees open up to describe the hardships and misfortunes of being subjected to a totalitarian design since the day they were born."

Thanks, cubanmiamiboy. You remind me of Estela Bravo's excellent Castro documentary, shown some time ago on PBS. Great viewing.

The Motorcycle Diaries has been showing up on cable this month as well. Wonderfully photographed and acted.

Well, you know how it is with those crazed Commie sympathizers who run PBS.:) Interesting website. The home page is certainly worth checking out.

Yes, these links are most persuasive, if not in the manner perhaps intended.

...OR perhaps in the intended one for some...?

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them? "

Willy.
