The US Blockade & Cuban Protests
US-backed activists, artists, and even US politicians called for "democracy" protests and demonstrations in Cuba on November 15, 2021. The demonstration was meant to capture the domestic unrest on the island caused by the US blockade, and heightened by the pandemic and economic hardship, but ultimately flopped. Luna Olavarria Gallegos and Daniel Montero of Belly of the Beast join me to discuss.

Show Notes
On this episode, we talk about the US blockade against Cuba, which we define as a weapon of economic, political, racist, colonial warfare against the Cuban people. We hear from Belly of the Beast producer Daniel Montero, who explains the main character behind these mysterious protests, and then we dive into some historical context. Finally, we discuss the blockade in detail, and Luna tells us some of the important documentary projects they're working on.
