           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.
