Duration - 5:49

[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

BotB recently held a screening of two documentaries on Cuban #medical missions. One is focused on #Cuban #doctors deployed to #Calabria, #Italy, and another follows a brigade of #African students from #ELAM (Cuba's #LatinAmerican School of #Medicine), who traveled to #GuineaBissau to provide medical care based on the training they received on the island.

Some of the ELAM students attended the screening and were given a standing ovation.

One audience member said: "Thank you for being heroes, not just of Cuba, but of the entire world."

"When I read about Cuba in the American press and I am struck, every time, by the same omission. The sanctions — which affect 100% of Cubans, every hour of every day — only receive a passing mention, a subordinate clause, a brief acknowledgment quickly balanced by talk of “domestic policy failures.”This is not neutrality. It is a choice that serves power and protects the aggressor." #IllegalSanctions #Cuba #USpol #AmericanPress

"In March, for example, the United States made war on three continents during just three days, conducting attacks in Africa, Asia, and South America. During that span, the U.S. also struck a civilian boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean."

"Although under siege,the island became the only Latin American country w/out malnutrition or illiteracy, prompting UNICEF to call it a “paradise for children” in the region in 2010.Yet it was precisely these reforms that infuriated the U.S. and Cuban elite, turning Cuba into an intolerable symbol of dignity and defiance."

"After all, even those who break and enter American homes aren’t aberrations. They are not just among us, they are us: For years, they have acted in our names, including abroad, when all too many of us were barely paying attention.
