Strait Talk: Politics, Propaganda and Perceptions Across the Florida Straits «
http://www.strait-talk.org | | As the culmination of his Master`s program, John Locke produceda multimedia documentary, which investigates US-Cuban relations from each side of the Florida Straits. Locke was able to travel to Havana from April 26 through May 4th, 2003 to take part in an organized tour coordinated by Global Exchange, an activity which may no longer be available to Americans, as the Bush Administration has decided to further restrict travel by Americans to the island nation. This experience afforded the opportunity to tape scheduled presentations by Cuban officials, and one-on-one interviews with those same officials. In addition, John was able to attend the May Day celebration in Plaza de la Revolucion and record Fidel Castro`s address. The video documentary presents excerpts from Castro`s speech and provides commentary from US officials, journalists, and Cubans. This Web site providesan overview of the project, a gallery of photos from Havana, a discussion group, clips from the video, and variousrelated original position papers and essays, as well as an extensive bibliography |
