 Agustin Blazquez: Preview to his Documentaries     

           

       The Producer/Director of the COVERING CUBA series, Agustin Blazquez, candidly explains the motivation for making the series of 5 documentaries in English that uncovers what is too often not covered in the mainstream press in the US. In it he explains that, as an artist, his preference is not politics, but, having lived through Cuba's revolution, he finds it his duty to present the Cuban American side of the story not usually available to Americans.
