      abstract = {Memories of Cuba is an affectionate and thoughtful  portrait of Cuba, some forty years after Castro took power.  Academy Award-nominated David Bradbury (Frontline, Chile  Hasta Cuando?) documents the erosion of the revolution in  Cuba and sadly acknowledges that the socialist dreams of  earlier decades have evaporated in the face of harsh  circumstances. As the filmmaker travels across the island  on trains, in broken-down cars, and sometimes hitchhiking,  he encounters a fascinating cross-section of people who  share their current reality, their hopes and  disappointments. He discovers that the new generation looks  to capitalism and tourism as the desperate solution to Cuba  s economic woes. Among those Cubans Bradbury encounters  are: an elderly couple living in a rent free apartment  without plumbing who are grateful they eat every day; a  broadcaster whose family has deserted Cuba to live in  Miami; a documentary filmmaker who expresses frustration  because his film on racism in Cuba was banned from the  Havanna Film Festival; a dissident who calls for freedom of  speech and free elections, and faces arrest. The story that  unfolds is set against a backdrop of exuberant music and  local color. While revolutionary ardor still burns in the  breasts of many Cubans, and Che Guevara is still revered,  forty years of economic hardship has taken its toll.},
