| Summary: | On February 24, 1996 three American planes took off from Miami to search for Cuban rafters fleeing the Castro regime. Over Cuban airspace, two planes were shot down and four Americans died. In retaliation, the U.S. extended its 34 year old Cuban embargo and passed the Helms-Burton Act to punish foreign companies who do business with Cuba. This program presents opinions of American legislators, members of the European Union, the international investment community, international law experts, and Cubans both at home and in exile. It goes on to explore conditions in Cuba relating to the embargo and shows the uneasy alliance between capitalist reforms and socialist belief. This timely program provides an important diversity of opinion on U.S. Policy towards Cuba and its effect on America's standing in the international community. |
