Cuba
is, and has been, a special case – A geopolitical pariah that, for the past
half century, has attracted an incredibly disproportionate amount of
international focus relative to its size. Placed by revolutionaries and
ideologies at the center of the Cold War, Cuba now finds itself riding yet
another crest of socialist resurgence in Latin America just at the moment when
a captive domestic and international public had been expecting radical change.
Its charismatic leader looks on the decline, and its future, however uncertain,
will bring with it dramatic alteration to what has remained a land frozen in a
pre-revolutionary time capsule, impervious to the tremendous technological,
cultural, and political forces pounding against its shores.
Cataloging the time warp that is modern
day Cuba, in what might be its last throws, is a delicate and emotionally
charged task. Marlon Krieger’s visions offer a last glimpse into the unspoiled
revolution of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. “Island in the Stream” explores an
island forbidden to an American public held so captive by its political
machinations for so many years.
