Open Source Public Radio
America’s coverage of Cuba usually focuses on one of three things: whether or not the US should lift its decades long embargo, something involving the Buena Vista Social Club, or when the heck Castro is gonna die. We want to tell a different kind of story about Cuba, and investigate a different kind of reality. We want to talk about the way individual people are earn a living in a country cut off from most of the world by Communism on one hand and sanctions on the other. Like the microbiologist who was forced to open a black market video rental store, or the male hustlers who line the boulevards of Havana.
