Hi everyone,

I'm looking for, as the title says, a good documentary on modern-day Cuba from a Marxist viewpoint. It doesn't have to focus on the historical events of the Revolution particularly, it can be anything about the post-revolution social / economic / political life of Cuba, I'm just looking for something a bit more in depth than "After Castro came to power, all the flowers wilted and died, and did you know that Che ate kittens too? 'Cause I heard he did that."

There's a couple out there but they don't tend to cover Cuba as a whole.There's one about Cuban healthcare and its healthcare internationalism called Salud!, and I recently found one about Cuba's adoption of sustainable development called The Power of Community. However you've got to be careful about some stuff on Cuba by so called Marxists - there's a horrific tendency on the left from certain groups to see Cuba as "not socialist enough", which comes from their own political impotence more than anything.
