Cuba is NOT a Paradise: Poverty, Shortages, and Lies

Video Description

In this video, I will show you the real Cuba — not the one from tourist ads. I spent a whole week in Havana and other cities. I visited slums, learned about the locals’ love for vintage cars, and interviewed ordinary people on the island. They have to survive every day in a difficult economy, buy dollars on the black market, deal with a goods deficit, and live with electricity problems. Cuba is not only about rum and luxury hotels — it’s also about poverty and inflation. Watch this video to see it for yourself.
