[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

U.S. politicians call Cuba’s medical missions “forced labor,” without providing evidence to back the claim.

Cuban doctors volunteer to go on international missions, where they are paid many times more than what they make in Cuba. Cuban medical workers have served on international cooperation missions in more than 150 countries since the 1960s, usually working with populations that otherwise wouldn’t have access to care.

Listen to Cuban doctors in Italy’s Southern region of Calabria respond to U.S. accusations.

Watch our full-length documentary film “From Cuba to Calabria: Medical Missions in Times of Crisis.”
