Show Notes
Ethan, a Cuban-American journalist, embarks on a deeply personal journey to Havana, visiting his great-grandfathers house for the first time since his family fled during the Camarioca boatlift in 1965. He discovers the home, built in 1928, remains in good condition, thanks to current resident Tania. Ethans journey also reveals Cubas evolving stance on religion, from Fidel Castros early atheist policies to gradual openings in the 1990s. Locals debate the U.S. embargos role in shortages versus government control, while tourist spots highlight stark divides from everyday struggles. Ethan grapples with his Miami-raised Cuban identity, feeling both connected and guilty amid the islands tourism barriers. Standing on the old balcony, Ethan senses why exiles clap on arrival—traces of home endure, fostering unexpected bonds that outlast regimes and hint at future returns.
