1. We Can’t Vote in Your Elections

2020-10-09

In We Can’t Vote in Your Elections, Cuban journalist Liz Oliva Fernández shows us the daily impact of US sanctions on the Cuban people. We learn about the roller coaster Cuba has endured over the last five years, from Obama’s opening to Trump’s rollback, and Liz connects the dots between Trump’s policy and the political interests driving it.

2. The Cuba-Venezuela Connection

2020-10-16

The Cuba-Venezuela Connection shows how the push for regime change in Cuba and Venezuela are interwoven. We see the impact of the US-imposed “oil blockade” on Cuba and the ways in which Cubans are finding alternatives to scarcities caused by US sanctions.

3. The War on Doctors

2020-10-24

The War on Doctors takes an inside look at Cuba’s international medical program through which tens of thousands of Cuban doctors are working in dozens of countries around the world, providing free health care to vulnerable populations. Trump has sought to undermine the program, accusing Cuba of “human trafficking” because it receives billions of dollars in foreign currency in exchange for the doctors’ services. Journalist Liz Oliva Fernández speaks to Cuban doctors who have served on “missions” abroad and investigates how US “humanitarian aid” has been used to create slander campaigns to characterize the doctors as “slaves” or “thugs.”
