50 years of Revolution

There´s one thing about Cuba and Cubans that will be true forever:
They managed to overthrow the corrupt dictator Batista, and have since proven to be more resilent than anyone ever imagined.
Anyone saying that Cuba is a dictatorship now doesn´t know the facts and just repeats the right-wing slurs, so frequently published all around the world.
Discussion is the way to get something done in Cuba, something rarely seen in other countries.

The event in the AK was wonderful: unfortunately, many of the seats were empty, but the lively spirit of those present far made up for that. We experienced the beauty of Cuban music, the different influences, the impact free education has on a people of many talents: Cuban culture flourishes, not inspite the Revolution, or against the Revolution, but because of the Revolution.

Hidyho World,

here we are, still in Austria, still without a clue whether we will be able to film or not. But we´re going to Cuba, so here´s the production blog.
We´ll be posting regular updates everytime we get internet access, funny stories from the island in the sun, nice pictures of beautiful people and generally spending our time usefully.

First off:

Going to Cuba is easy.

Getting to do anything there is not.


Viva la Revolución!
