En 2008, Fidel Castro entregò el control de Cuba a su hermano menor, Raúl. Desde entonces, gente alrededor del mundo han esperado cambios significativos en las vidas de los cubanos -- especialmente para los jóvenes. La esperanza sigue siendo eterna, pero mientras el gobierno cubanode usa leyes que violan normas internacionales de derechos humanos, es casi imposible que los ciudadanos cubanos pueden expresar sus deseos para el cambio. A pesar de los obstáculos, muchos jóvenes en Cuba arriesgan sus vidas a trabajar por un mundo mejor y un futuro más justa. En la primavera de 2011, Livio, un bibliotecario independiente y líder de un movimiento de la juventud cubana, entrevisto cinco personas: una blogger, un estudiante, un profesor, un periodista y un músico. Estas son sus historias.
In 2008, Fidel Castro handed over control of Cuba to his younger brother, Raul. Since then, people around the world have predicted significant changes in the lives of the Cuban people -- especially in the lives of young Cubans. While hope springs eternal, the Cuban government's continued use of laws that violate basic standards of international human rights makes it almost impossible for citizens to openly voice their desires for change. Despite the obstacles, many young people in Cuba risk their lives to work for a better, more just future. In the spring of 2011, Livio, an independent librarian and Cuban youth leader, visited five people: a blogger, a student, a professor, a journalist and a musician. These are their stories.
