With unprecedented access to Cubans on both sides of the Florida Straits, Cuba: A Lifetime of Passion looks at the extant reality of the Cuban Revolution and its uncertain post-Castro future.
Cuba is in the 45th year of a fledgling revolution - a revolution which took place before many Cubans were even born. But what is the legacy of this historic revolution? What will happen to the revolution after Castro? And what effect will this have on the Cuban ‘exile' community in Miami?
Through a series of revealing interviews with people who fall on all sides of this issue - pro-Castro Communists in Cuba, oppositionists in Cuba, U.S. Department of State personnel, academics, Cubans "stranded in exile" in Miami - along with sequences beautifully shot in 1080i High Definition, this thought-provoking documentary considers Cuba today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

"Let those who desire a secure homeland conquer it. Let those who do not conquer it live under the whip and in exile, watched over like wild animals, cast from one country to another, concealing the death of their souls with a beggar's smile from the scorn."
