Stone challenges Castro to explain actions following the execution of three political dissidents who attempted to hijack a ferry to the United States in April 2003. Castro's response and his actions were condemned throughout the capitalist world, further isolating Cuba. Stone was given unprecedented access, interviewing not only Castro, but many of the prisoners, their wives, leading dissidents and human rights advocates -- all of whom express their views forcefully in the emotionally charged environment of Cuba today. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> </div><div style="font-size: 17px; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 17px; "><b>Upcoming events:</b></div><div style="font-size: 17px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; "><b><i><br></i></b></span></div><div style="font-size: 17px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; "><b><i>China Study, Thursday December 13 @ 7 p.m.</i></b></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 17px; "><span style="font-family:Helvetica">"Presentation and discussion on the results of China's 18th Party Congress, the new leadership and possible implications for policy."<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 19px; "><b><i>Samia Halaby, Saturday, December 15 @ 3 <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><b><i>p.m.</i></b></span> </i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 19px; "><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> <b>“My experience as the first artist invited from the US in Cuba’s 3<sup style="font-size: 17px; ">rd</sup> Havana Biennial”</b></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 17px; "><span style="font-family:Helvetica"><b> Samia Halaby</b></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica">, a Palestinian artist now living in NY, discusses her experience in Cuba, a state where the working class took power.
