Looking Back at Mariel

beyondsea-cuba.jpg This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Mariel Boatlift. As part of New York’s PBS Channel 13‘s extensive Hispanic History Month programming, Cantos Latinos,which actually began in the beginning of September, they are featuring Beyond the Sea. The documentary features interviews with some of the nearly 125,000 that fled Cuba during a 6 month period in 1980. Hopefully the film, which had a limited release in some cities earlier this summer, will help dispel the stereotype that the Marielitos were all criminals and mentally ill and reveal a complex story of exile.
