Belly of the Beast Presents ‘The War on Cuba’ 10/9/2020 Latino rebels: "The
United States is in the midst of racial uprisings, unprecedented economic crises
and political tension. As young people begin to recognize the limits of their
own opportunities, there’s also a re-awakening towards the world outside of the
U.S. and the past few months have re-grounded the importance of international
solidarity. Yet, media outlets that tell the stories of people outside the U.S.
for young U.S. Americans are scarce. This is why Belly of the Beast was created.
It’s a Havana-based media organization that tells Cuba’s untold stories through
hard-hitting journalism and stunning cinematography. With a team of Cuban and
U.S.-based journalists, Belly of the Beast pioneered a new model of documentary
filmmaking and reporting from the Global South that breaks with the practice of
parachute journalism."

Blockading Cuba Serves No Purpose Beyond Sadism 10/7/2020 Root
Action: "Trump and Coronavirus have hit Cuba like twin disasters, even if
cutting back on U.S. travel has probably mitigated the spread of Coronavirus
there. Even a Chinese billionaire was unable to get ventilators for Cuba past
the U.S. blockade. That alone is a deadly policy outcome that looks especially
awful to a world largely appreciative of Cuba sending doctors to assist on
various continents."
