After a failed attempt to escape the oppressive regime in Cuba,
a young artist is captured, accused of being in the CIA and
sentenced to 15 years in once of Cuba’s most horrific prisons.
Labeled a Political Prisoner, he is abused and tortures for
years & then mysteriously released. Fearful for his life and re-imprisonment
he plans a second escape with a group of friends. Armed with
heroic passion, they flee the island in the dead of night on a
homemade raft… their goal to reach the United States. Instead
they find terror at sea and their quest for human rights and
freedom becomes a journey for survival. Based on true stories
and interviews with Cuban political prisoners and rafters.
