Snapshots from the Cuban Diaspora ~ An Odyssey in Images
Snapshots from the Cuban Diaspora ~ An Odyssey in Images is a series of interviews led by Dr. Lilia Fontana, with Cubans that have left the island nation during the many decades of the revolution. Many chronicle their narrative via their literary word, performances, artwork and/or through music. Others just tell of their arduous journey to escape.

"To Know You"
A brief, twisted yarn of attraction, rejection and - ultimately - abject fear, set to lovely music and lyrics. This cautionary tale reminds us all that it's a very short trip from an innocent crush to restraining orders.
