- Alina lives in Miami quietly where Cuban crowds are planning a huge mass celebration for the day when Alina's father will die. She doesn't know if she will join them though she has never been able to forgive her dad for what he caused to her and their country. We see her in her home, in the bars of Little Havana, in a Cuban radio show and in her yoga class in Miami while we visit the locations of her childhood in Cuba from her home to her ballet school where we talk to her ex-teacher who gives another perspective on Alina - The film ends in Cuba and in Miami after the death of Fidel Castro, showing mourning, celebration - and Alina.

i cant help but think that there are double standards exhibited by the United States with its economic embargo on Cuba while they are more than willing to sell weapons and trade with Saudi Arabia,United Arab Emirates which are not beacons of democracy and human rights considering that China a communist country just like Cuba is now America's biggest trading partner.The sanctions against Cuba are not justified and ought to be done away with.
Absolutely 💯 everything you wrote!
Name me one other country that does not exhibit double standards of their reigning people in power that is then you can judge
While Batista may not have been the ideal leader, Cuba’s economy was thriving under his rule. People had electricity, healthcare was better, and large corporations provided stable employment that allowed workers to support their families. Just look at Cuba now: Castro’s resentment of wealth and big corporations led to the ruin of the Cuban economy. Cuba was once a top producer of sugar, tobacco, and coffee, exporting them to other countries. What do they produce now? What’s the state of Cuba’s current economy? And please don’t claim it’s all due to the U.S. embargo-that only restricts trade with Cuba’s dictatorship! Educate yourself and see past the propaganda. May Castro burn in H33l for what he did to the Cubans.
You have a half brother . . . Justin Trudeau.
Lol. I clicked to see if they look alike.
Identical
@@yureituesday to Fidel for sure.
I came for trudeau, the one who did blackface 3 times.
Prime Minister of Canada; following his fathers lead.
So this woman is the result of an affair. She doesn’t realise that the issues she has are from rejection. Had she been born a child of the wife her trajectory would have been different
I think there's definitely something to this! She had so little contact with her father. That can make a kid very bitter!
Yeah, she would’ve lived a life of luxury in Cuba just like Sandro Castro. That doesn’t mean Fidel was good lol. Fidel’s own sister and other brother hated him as well.
@@b.a.2406 Well, it happens with any political family anyway.

this is the most propagandized bs. the economy struggled to grow because of AMERICA. The Cuban Embargo and America’s rule against international trade through Cuba is what caused their economic hardship. Cuba has some of the best healthcare in the WORLD. And freedom of speech comes with a price and when you are oppressed by a GLOBAL power for a near century, i also would be questioning dissenters. Who knows if they are sleeper agents or intend to upend the Cuban self-determinative plans that Castro intended for!?
@@lucijunicolombo-goode5020 This comment screams “from the suburbs, not Cuban, never even set foot in Cuba, willingly ignoring the 850,000 Cubans that have left Cuba since 2021.” 😂
I want to hear what Prime Minister Trudeau thinks of his father Fidel Castro.
Is that true? Or you are just kidding ?
Justin Castro.
@@sureshvadgama2838 Her mom had affair with Fidel and Justin was born after that.
Conjecture & wishful thinking.
@@sureshvadgama2838 it’s 100% true
Ive never heard of her, but I appreciate her story & that she was speaking out to raise awareness of suffering in her homeland- much like learning abt children of famous German/SS leaders… their identity is complex bc they should not be blamed or treated as if they had control over whom their parents were… & they are not their parent(s); however, they grow up in such a meaningful & powerful shadow, that a part of their parent’s identity certainly is glued to them… simply bc of how the society/world arnd them views them and conceptualizes them & ppl’s individual idea of the parent. That would definitely be rough to navigate your whole life…
Plus, If the parent is still in power/influence while they’re coming of age, the person usually does have some form of privilege & access, or opportunity that is better than others. However, it’s easy to see that in this scenerio, similar to daughters of middle eastern princes/emirates, there is a lot of fear, control, threats… in ways that are different than regular citizens face. So I wouldn’t say anyone had it better or worse, but atleast others can go back to visit. Would be interesting to see an update now that he’s dead. It’s sad she can’t see her mother, and it’s sad that Cuba was treated so horribly- the theory of treatment toward them didn’t work out as intended… there should never have been Such poverty so close to a land of milk and honey. Plus, Cuba’s revolution had consequences far reaching in all of South America that only fed the dynamics of dictators & subversives and idea they could/could not exist due to the “threat” of them. Places like Argentina where 2 mil ppl disappeared, and America trained these countries how to torture to keep communism from taking over the continent… but of course the imagined subversive “threats” were students, artists, journalists, academics- Ppl w/ ideas and a voice. Dictators used the idea/threat of these ppl spreading communism to tamp down those trying to overthrow them. It was a disgusting recipe for madness that all the leaders were complicit in. USA, Castro, South America, Russia, etc… a huge selfish circle jerk. But the Cubans are still left picking at the crumbs that have fallen on the floor. It’s unacceptable & disgusting.
It’s ppl like her mother that should be pointed at- but everyone i. The country can’t be blamed that they were tricked and lied to while suffering under a colonial regime. They just wanted more, and it’s such a beautiful culture and resilient Ppl.
❤Viva los Cubanos❤️
her narrative does not match up as to how she lived whilst she was in her country. i do not accept that she was not complicit and reaped the benefits of being that murderer's daughter.
Suffering caused by the embargo and blockade.
This was a very stirring documentary. I find your thoughts profound. I lived in Havana, Cuba for 5 months as a very young child. My mother and two older brothers and me were returning from Caracas, Venezuela after living there for a year and 1/2. I had lots of extended family members who lived there. I remember being very happy there as my mother’s sister and her two children lived in Havana. My mom also had some very good friends that also resided there. They were very wealthy sugar people. The lost everything when Castro came into power. When they finally left and came to the states they lost everything except for the clothes on their back and $3000 dollars. I’m so happy that you have a loving relationship with your beautiful daughter. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt insights.
Wait, where’s Justin Trudeau?
Castro was always ashamed of his daughter Justy.
My thoughts exactly
Read this comment before watching the vid. If Trudeau isn't here then I'm not interested.
@@schmetterlingxox3096 Canada
I’m right here 👋, planning my exile to Cuba .
I’m taken aback when she said she “never had the experience of ownership.” And also “I didn’t lose anything when I came here because I never owned anything. In a communist country you don’t own anything.” While I knew that definitionally, I never considered what that would feel like, having been born and raised in democratic America. It’s very sad..
I’ll have to listen. Just started.
Usually the communist dictators are the Only ones who feel ownership in a communist country. I’m guessing she was estranged from her father. Just started watching
Nothing democratic about the US. Capitalist ownership does not mean the political representation of the will of the people.
@@eemoogee160 Nothing capitalist about corrupt supranational corporations working with corrupt politicians.
@HenritheHorse Sure it is. It's a system of might makes right. Not one of rules and fairness. What could be more capitalist than that?
@@eemoogee160 It's like calling socialism communism.
So she's sister of Trudeau
Same thoughts.
That woman does a good job at diagnosing the problems with corruption, and communicating it.
Hola ALINA. La modelo. No me llamo David,sino Hugo. Saludos
False advertising. I thought this was going to be a documentary on Justin Trudeau.
False advertising?? Justin was never mentioned once and her face in on the thumbnail this is not false advertising 😭😂
@@Rileybenitezz i know. It's a joke 🙂
She is as real as "Son of Hamas leader"
Too many commercials.
Use search engine "brave". Cuts out all commercials
Viva Cuba Viva Fidel Castro
@@elektra1968 Abajo Fidel, Abajo la Dictadura, Abajo el PCC y tú.
@@DiegoTorres-gn9hg Down with the negativity brought up by the Cuban exile community that has nothing better to do than wasting their lives criticizing Cuba and Fidel Castro with their own exaggerated nonsense!
Is Justin Trudeau in this doc?
i'm only here for the Turd-o comments
I’m here for Turdo
Where is Justin Trudeau is this story? Isn’t Fidel his real Dad?
I wonder if she's ever met her brother... Justin Castro-Trudeau
Viva cuba libre 🇨🇺 abajo el comunismo!!

As a cuban american that had to leave cuba in 1962,i along with my mother ,father & sister.i was 10 years old,my small town was a few blocks only.its name, guayos,las villas ,it was conquered by Che Guevara in 1959.people went outside to dancing ,screaming, hollering ,paredon ,paredon,paredon. Castros long hair fighters were seeing as kind of gods diciples . everyone loved fidel castro in those days .as a 10 year old kid ,i still noticed that my family was entering into something dark .i never liked large masses ,large crowds are usually following a who knows who ? Castro was bad for the cuban family,he was a passionate man, he thought of cuba as a world power.thats very cuba,we think we are the center of the universe.but we were only a poor island with very loud and opinionated people .we are know it all ,its in our blood ,our coffee or maybe our cigars.alina has to listened to her fathers haters ,her fathers ex followers ,ex admirers , combatants, ex screamers of paredon,paredon ,paredon.im not a communist,im a realist.we have extremist s here to give to the whole world.on both sides i mean! Miami has 4,500 called ,organisations ,they have a defense minister and a president ,but no army ,just paper soldiers with huge aspirations of ruling in cuba ,one day .cuba has 5,000 organisations in case you want to know? Alina is the daughter of an ex saint,an ex leader,lawyer ,a bright man, a patriot.and for the other side,the worst dictator in history.
Its a sad thing ,its 2024 and the cuban family is separated ,i lost mine ,already .hate prevails .
I thought this was a Justin Trudeau documentary
His eldest daughter is Justine Trudeau
Your brother, Justin Trudeau.
Viva Fidel Castro!!!! Our Comander in chief!
She forgot to mention her half sibling
A rootless person I know this feeling oh so well
El Sin🏠 más grande del mundo
WE R FAMILY BC FIDEL CASTRO IS MY GREAT GRANDPA
I don't feel bad for the children of evil people. They are their parents dna. I only feel bad for the women who are raped and forced to have children. The children could be killed but not in vain. Not in vain meaning you cannot justify the rape and murder of mother and prejudice isn't the underlying factor; simply based off an in-justice or not-just event. In this case if shes not a rape baby then i simply just don't feel bad for her in a way that makes me want to help them.
Crazy take 😂.
⚔️🛡️🌎 Listen to this America . .. .. .. .. You need Trump behind the wheel before you loose everything . Barack and Pope Francis were there together ,there wad Catholic Church not far from where they pleading for financial help Just for a church bell . they were ignored .Thats how dire Cuba 's situation was and still is .Two 🌎 leaders who could make a difference but chose not to ... .. 🛡️⚔️ NZ first
Sere breve no hablaré mucho tres horas después y el barbudo seguía hablando sin intención de terminar
They can go back
This makes me want to cultivate ingrown hair and toenails. Just for the shear blazing pain of it,
Justin Castro's half sister
Me supongo.que usted.debe ser miyonaria.y que no benga a cuba.usted es americana.aca no tiene nada usted lodijo
Abajo Fidel
Down with the criminal U.S. embargo against Cuba and the Cuban exile community of angry fools!
she is as complicit as her Father and she should not be living in this country.
????
Prove otherwise, if you can’t don’t spread misinformation
How? Do you have any idea the luxury lifestyle her half brothers have? 😆 Nope. You have no clue.
@@Rosalie_2005 she reaped the benefits of being his daughter and she lived well. she was complicit when she did not speak up. i don't care she is a coward and that is my opinion. you are entitled to yours. have a wonderful life.
@@MDWJS what benefits? More likely a cursed. Have a nice life too.
Come get your little brother.
What the food rations .. very sad!! But, the ballet instructor Castros daughter looks to be eating well!! Hmmmm !! The people are starving
