What happens
L'Heure de Cuba est un film documentaire de Jean-Daniel Lafond, sorti en 1999. Avec la chute du mur de Berlin et la fin du communisme de l’ex-URSS, le régime communiste cubain perdure. Il assure la pérennité de Cuba malgré le blocus américain. Est-ce que l’ouverture au capitalisme canadien, notamment dans l’industrie touristique, sert le socialisme cubain ? Le commandant Fidel Castro accepte de recevoir la journaliste Michaëlle Jean qui vient lui demander l’heure juste. Elle va faire l’expérience des contradictions du quotidien socialiste cubain en même temps que de l’efficacité de son projet national. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
