Those I Left Behind
by Lisandro Perez-Rey
Trapped between the sea and the politics of governments, Cuban families on either side of the Florida straits have endured nearly a half century of separation and loss. Filmed in both the United States and Cuba, this documentary explores the transnational ties that bind Cuban-Americans in the United States to their families still living on the island and sheds light on the controversial new travel restrictions imposed by the U.S. Government and its emotional impact on the lives of four Cuban families.

DETAILS FORTHCOMING on discussion following film screening with
filmmaker/director/screen writer.

Sponsored by the Department of History, Latin American Studies Program and
Latino Studies Program.
