The film is about the pretty much forgotten Mariel Boat Lift--when thousands of disaffected Cubans were suddenly allowed to leave their repressive country. While at first they were welcomed into America, soon it became apparent that a very large percentage of them were criminals and their transition to American life was very difficult to say the least. This film focuses in particular on the group housed in Arkansas and the riots that developed by those being housed on a military base.
Wow. While I enjoyed this documentary film quite a bit, I couldn't help but notice that the narrator sounded a bit young. Still, given its very professional quality, I assumed it was made by a college student in film school. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the Bailin sisters are only 14!! Yes, I did say 14! Considering that the film is better than many short documentaries I have seen, I wonder what sort of amazing productions they will be involved in when they are more seasoned professionals!!!
