Cuba through the camera lens: reflecting on the Cuban people and their lives. Presented by Anne Umphrey.
In 2003 I traveled to Cuba with WGBH Learning Tours. It was then that I fell in love with the Cuban people, their spirit, their friendliness and their resilience. In spite of privations they opened their homes and their lives to me. Since that time I have returned 3 more times, the most recent trip in 2016, seeing changes on each trip.The Cuban people are still the same but their lives are now marginally better in terms of clothing, food and the basic necessities of life. The photos I take represent a few of the many that I have taken of people in the cities and the countryside.
