Covering Cuba 5: "Act of Repudiation"
“Act of Repudiation" as practiced by the Cuban government, is the
official use of public intimidation and repression against individuals and
their families because of their views, through the used of trained mobs
and violence, akin to those employed by Nazi Germany and the Ku Klux Klan.
ARTS AND POLITICS ARE INSEPARABLE IN CUBA This is the story of the Act of
Repudiation directed at internationally renowned concert guitarist Carlos
Molina and his family. Molina and daughter Maritza, a child at the time of
the assault, describe the acts of the government-incited mobs that
attacked their home and the resulting trauma they still feel today. |
The Act resulted from Molina's request to emigrate, with his American-born
wife, Marisa and his three daughters, to the U.S. Molina, lauded as
founder of the Cuban School of Guitar, began his performing career in
1969, the same year he graduated from the School of Law at the University
of Havana. Daughter
Maritza, an artist, relates the trauma she suffered by the Act of
Repudiation directed at her family, which to this day, impacts her life
and her artwork..
