This is probably one of the best things I've watched about Cuba. An incredibly genuine and apolitical documentary! Nothing but authentic human relationships. Must watch - @Saturday, November 17, 2018 7:52 PM

Although there was quite a bit of ass kissing towards Castro, hopefully it was done in order to get filming benefits as such and not because of actual affection towards the dictator, I must say the film was very objective and entertaining. - @Friday, November 16, 2018 7:17 PM

This documentary actually proves that our Jewish landlords purposely burned down our buildings to collect the insurance money. Our family lived in the Lower East Side on 6 street and the landlord burned it down. Then we moved to 3rd street and they paid a Spanish guy to burn that building down. They owe me and my family money. - @Sunday, November 11, 2018 10:12 AM

Muy bonito el documental, sin duda alguna que los hermanos borrego son quienes le dan toque a este documental, nos demuestran que para ser felices no necesitamos fortunas, la parte que mas me dolio fue cuando el periodista volvió y los hermanos borrego no estaban, uffff que tristeza senti. - @Monday, October 8, 2018 12:49 PM

Its a human story while only from one side of it, I love that is from those who believed or lived thru those times. And see how things progress and regressed, and now progressing again. For whats it worth every kid has a right to free education, every person has a right to medical health care (while dated a bit of facts for you they live longer than an ordinary american)... how many of you in the states whom are able to say the same? - @Tuesday, August 7, 2018 7:19 AM

Os brasileiros deveriam assistir para ver como ficaremos, e também perceber como começa a aparecer dinheiro em Cuba a partir de 2006 (durante o governo lula molusco), e também percebe-se como as pessoas se reenventam e tentam se manter felizes mesmo no caos. O comunismo continua matando e muito😡 #BrasilacimadetudoDeusacimadetodos #bolsonaro2018 - @Monday, July 9, 2018 2:10 AM

I watched the entire trailer in the hopes that it wasn't what it seemed to be. But I was wrong. This looks like the kind of documentary an airhead would make about Cuba. Honestly, without providing a hint of context or depth makes me think the filmmaker is a complete moron. - @Saturday, March 10, 2018 1:11 PM

Recien termine de ver el documental. Felicitacion por el esfuerzo del reportero ya que llevar continuidad por tanto tiempo es admirable. Entiendo que es estadounidense, pero para lo que esta haciendo, antes que nada es reportero, y para esto YO pienso que se debe ser imparcial, y mostrar lo que se documenta TAL CUAL ES, y no darle sentido propio, el punto de vista se lo debe de dar el espectador. El mostrarle y recalcar la miseria de los cubanos en sus tiempos mas dificiles, no solo tiene sentido partidista; sino tambien demuestra apatia y egocentrismo, pienso que Fidel debio dar esa bofetada al yanky mas cercano que tenia en el momento que lo menciono; en defenza de su gente expuesta y criticada en este documental; por que el hacer creer a la gente que, se es su amigo, para manipular ideas y darle sentido partidista (gritando sin palabras: te eqivocas Fidel) y que te quieran ver la cara de tonto al tener que interpretar (no tradicir) lo que de manera cortez respondes a un yanky (la oposicion) es audaz, pero tambien NADA ETICO. Solo se lo indispensable de politica, y no se la intencion personal de sus actos y que tantos aciertos y errores se hayan dado durante el mandato del Gral. Fidel Castro, pero de manera personal, pienso que EL GRAL. tenia vision y objetivos beneficos para su pais, solo que para EL UNIVERSO, su intencion personal no estaba en sus planes. Y menciono beneficos por que: dudo mucho que en mi pais un ciudadano llore la muerte de un politico, y dudo mas que un niño llore la muerte de su presidente. No se de que manera alla marcado sus vidas, como para que sientan tanto una perdida de ese tipo (politica). Solo soy un simple obrero leones, pero hasta yo se que, las cosas no se hacen de esa manera. - @Friday, March 2, 2018 9:47 AM

Alpert, I'm assuming you are of Jewish ancestry? How would you like it if a CUBAN filmmaker went to Hitler's Nazi Germany in the 1940s and SLOBBERED AND JOKED around with a murderer like hitler? How would it make you feel. You make films taking advantage of an enslaved people. It's not like you just went.. and don't know any better.. by your own admission, you've been going there since the 1970s..(nobody could get in then, HOW DID YOU?..Very telling..In 1970s castro Cuba nobody got in and was allowed to film unless you were a sympathizer??) you boast on how the Cuban tyrant, the same monster that has murdered and imprisoned tens of thousands..and exiled millions..flew back with you and was always happy to see you.. you even said VIVA fidel... you are SHAMEFUL.. disgusting glorification of a brutal and blood thirsty murderer.. #shame - @Wednesday, December 27, 2017 5:28 PM

No matter how many amanuences Castro's tyranny uses to invade youtube and social networks. We all know of his total failure. No importa cuántos amanuences utilice la tiranía castrista para invadir youtube y las redes sociales. Todos sabemos de su fracaso total. - @Friday, December 22, 2017 4:20 PM

Just finished watching it. Just few words to describe this doc...heartwarming & moving. The Three brothers' story broke my heart. Why didn't the film maker offer to buy them an Ox or somethings to help them out. One of the best documentaries i've ever seen. I also recommended the ' searching for sugar man ' another great doc. - @Wednesday, December 20, 2017 11:18 PM
