Far more Cubans attempt the 90-mile trip to Florida since Castro came to power

Question

40 years ago. They are desperately trying to get away from Castro’s dictator’s ship and

the oppressed economical conditions. They simply want to live in a free society, to

escape poverty and take advantage of opportunities they wouldn't have in Cuba. In their

quest for freedom, they risk their lives by taking a dangerous trip in an unsafe boat or

raft. Many die along the way without reaching their dream. While others arrive to their

destination. This voyage is a gamble, because nothing can assure who will win or loose.

The winners will arrive, somewhere on the coast of Florida or in Honduras where they

must find a way to get to America via Mexico
