2 Days of Solidarity with Cuba in New York City

 

 

This program is dedicated to Saul Landau who is gravely ill.

 

Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up chronicles half a century of hostile US relations-Cuba relations. By telling the story of the Cuban Five, intelligence agents sent to penetrate Cuban exile terrorist groups in Miami and now serving long prison sentences. The film highlights decades of assassinations and sabotage at first backed by Washington, then ignored by the very government that launched a "war against terrorism".

Renowned documentarian and activist Saul Landau landed interviews with the leading anti-Castro terrorists now in their 80's who recounted their deeds often with the blessing of the CIA as well as interviews with Cuban state security officials explaining why they sent the five agents to infiltrate the violent Miami exile groups. Featuring Danny Glover and Fidel Castro, the film raises and tries to answer the question: What did Cuba do to deserve such hostile treatment? Key events are traced including the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as the numerous attempts on Castro's life.

 

Panel discussion following screening features historian Jane Franklin, author of Cuban Foreign Relations and Cuba and the United States: A chronological History. Moderator, Nellie Bailey, Black Agenda Report & the July 26th Committee.
