Balseros

In the summer of 1994, a crew of television reporters with unprecedented access filmed and interviewed seven Cubans before they set out with their families as economic refugees on homemade rafts headed for US shores. The crew followed the survivors who were rescued at sea and transported to Guantanamo Bay, which was, at that time, the site of a temporary refugee camp. Seven years later, this same crew reconnects with their subjects to discover the outcome of their new lives in different regions across the United States.
