  • In this one, we will dive back into the urban jungles of Centro Habana. My host recommended I speak with a local gentleman that lives on the streets of Havana, Jorge/George. His story is complicated, as an individual who left with the Mariel Boatlift and then returned due to familial tragedy. In this video, we will speak with this Marielito from Havana.
