[weekly newsletter about Cuba (with YouTube video links) from the Belly Of The Beast news collective. Their videos can also be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]

Major media outlets have largely told the story of Cuba's medical missions through the voices of U.S. officials, politicians and U.S. government-funded "experts" who portray Cuban doctors as victims of "forced labor." Rarely do audiences get to see the missions themselves — or hear directly from the doctors still serving in them.

In our latest documentary, From Cuba to Calabria, we follow Cuban doctors as they travel from the island to work in public hospitals in one of Italy’s poorest regions. The film offers a rare inside look at a Cuban medical mission, letting the doctors speak for themselves about why they volunteer to leave their families and travel thousands of miles to care for patients in another country.
