Conflicting narratives? Jon Alpert, American journalist & documentary filmmaker

Cuba is one of those countries that has long been perceived and described through the prism of ideology. Known in the USSR as "the freedom island" that shed the chains of capitalism, it has long been seen in the West as one big prison ruled by an iron fist. But when you’ve spent almost half a century documenting the lives of its people, as my guest today has done, you’ll find that the reality is different from the idyllic or ideological perceptions. What is Cuba really like? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Jon Alpert, an American journalist and documentary filmmaker.
