Filmmaker Saul Landau on US-Aided Anti-Castro Militants & the Cuban 5
Published on Jun 11, 2012 by democracynow
DemocracyNow.org – Award-winning journalist, filmmaker, author, professor Saul Landau has made more than 45 films and written 14 books, many about Cuba. His latest film is “Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up” about U.S. support for violent anti-Castro militants. Landau joins us to discuss the history of the Cuban Five and U.S. support for a group of anti-Castro militants who have been behind the bombing of airplanes, the blowing up of hotels and assassinations. Today they are allowed to live freely in the United States. “What did Cuba do to us?,” Landa asks. “Well, the answer I think is that they were disobedient in our hemisphere. They did not ask permission to take away property — they took it away. They nationalized property, and the United States… has never forgiven them.”
