WPR Reports: Uprooted, Episode 8 -- Cuba is Calling

Most of the Cuban exiles have one wish: to visit Cuba so they can hug family, eat roasted pig and walk the streets of their old neighborhoods. But most of the people interviewed for “Uprooted” can’t go back because of paperwork complications or past criminal convictions. They hope they can find a legal pathway – or a support network – to help them go home one more time.
Theme music: Bozo (Part III) by Willy Chirino. Additional music by La Familia Valera Miranda.
