2:00 pm 
West End Commons

Join us at West End Commons, 641 St. Matthews Avenue (entrance on McGee St.) at 2:00 p.m. to see an award-winning documentary film by acclaimed Cuban filmmaker Estela Bravo.  Operation Peter Pan: Flying Back to Cuba (2011) tells the story of the “airlift” of 14,000 Cuban children to Miami in 1961-1962, organized by the CIA in conjunction with the Catholic Church. The film traces the origins of the operation, shows the lives of the children in Miami without their parents, and follows some of them back to Cuba decades later as aging adults. 

Also on the playbill will be the short From Gaza to Cuba (2024) about the life of one Palestinian medical student studying at the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Havana.
