This documentary begins where 1995's COVERING CUBA ended . . .. After five years, the situation for Cuban Americans has not changed much. Under the Clinton Administration and with the collaboration of the U.S. media, the situation has gotten worse, as the Elian Gonzalez affair demonstrates.

But there is a new generation of Cuban Americans born and educated in the U.S. Through their families, they are fully aware of the realities of life in Cuba. This new generation is aware of the misinformation and deceptive ways of the U.S. media reports on their parents' homeland.

Triggered by the injustices committed by the Clinton administration against Elian and his U.S. relatives, they became politically active and determined to fight for the same ideals of their ancestors - to bring back justice, freedom and democracy to Cuba as a tribute to their parents. One of them says, "I'd like to fight for my father."

As the old generation, this new generation knows how difficult is the road ahead and the formidable job they have to do to educate the U.S. media in order to break the stereotypes of what Cuban Americans really are.
