Cuba with Simon Reeve

January 12, 201260m

In this hour-long documentary for the BBC's award-winning This World strand, Simon gets under the skin of a colorful and vibrant country famous for its hospitality and humor and asks if this new economic openness could lead to political liberalization in a totalitarian country with a poor human rights record. Will Cuba be able to maintain the positive aspects of its long isolation under socialism - low crime, top-notch education and one of the best health systems in the world - while embracing what certainly looks like capitalism? Is this the last chance to see Cuba before it becomes just like any other country?
