Well-connected vignettes of the lives of young people, such as anarchists, lawyers, bloggers, and music artists. Pinned against a backdrop of the '59 Revolution, the reality of people who are struggling for better conditions and for free speech stands in great relief. An emphasis is placed on how the line from the government consistently blames the U.S. blockade for its economic woes, inclusive of policies that the government is responsible for. State oversight over the smallest aspects of life is shown to be intrusive and stifling. Several government officials are shown to be very old (which they are) and disconnected from the reality of the 21st century. One such youth, Yoani Sánchez, is a blogger who runs Generation Y, which is available here: https://generacionyen.wordpress.com/
