"This is Cuba" is a documentary about the living conditions in Cuba. Communism has struck Cuba for a long time now, and the people living there are forced to face many harpships every day of their lives. Although I was already aware of the current situation in Cuba, this film gave me a much more personal insight on the diffiuclt life of the Cubans. This film shows the behind-the-scenes look at everyday Cubans dealing with life and survival. Cubans live in a restricted society where they are restrained from many things that I take for granted everyday of my life. Every day Cubans struggle against Castro's cruel restrictions; they recieve an exact amount of food each month and they get paid a ridiculously low amount of money, both of which are not enough to fulfill their necesseties. Cubans cannot speak about their poor living conditions, they are restrcited to watch one channel on television, and they must obey and endure the everyday rules positioned by Castro. This film has truly opened my eyes to Cuba, and has made me realize how fortunate I am to live in a country where I have complete freedom.
