"This World" Cuba with Simon Reeve (2012)

Adventurer and journalist Simon Reeve went to Cuba in search of a communist country in the capitalist revolution. Two years ago, Cuba announced its most radical and radical economic reform in decades. From ending state rationing to cutting a million public sector jobs, one of the world's last communist bastions has begun to shrink the nation on an unprecedented scale. Simon Reeve has met ordinary Cubans whose lives are changing, from owners of fledgling businesses to newly sold real estate agents who sell properties worth up to 750000 pounds. In the hour-long documentary of BBC's award-winning film "the World," Simon gets caught up in a colorful and vibrant country known for its hospitality and humor and asks whether this new economic openness will lead to a poor human rights record of political liberalization in totalitarian countries. In accepting what must look like capitalism, can Cuba maintain the long-isolated positive aspects of the socialist system-low crime, a first-class education and one of the best health systems in the world? Is this the last chance to see Cuba before it becomes like any other country?
