[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]
Duration - 5:49Musa Alves, a Brazilian-American designer living in New Orleans, and Carolina Leyva, a Cuban American from Florida who is studying medicine in Havana, have joined forces to support the Cuban people amid a crisis caused in large part by U.S. economic warfare against the island.
Musa, founder of From Nola to Cuba, and Carolina, founder of Corazón con Cuba, are building cultural bridges between the two countries and delivering aid directly to the Cuban people.
This is a story of people helping people and grassroots solidarity in the face of U.S. collective punishment against Cuba. Musa and Carolina talk about what it means to travel to Cuba not just as visitors, but as lifelines for families and communities.
