On Thursday, August 4, 2016, from 6:00 pm- 7:30 pm “Cuba, Libre?” will be screened in the Koret Auditorium on the lower level of the Main Branch of the San Francisco Public Library at 100 Larkin Street near City Hall.
Filmmaker, Dick Jordan, and travel writers who appear in the film, will be present to answer questions following the screening.
Filmmaker, Dick Jordan, discussed Cuba, Libre? today with Tom Wilmer, host of the award-winning NPR podcast, “Journeys of Discovery with Tom Wilmer.”
You can listen to part one of Dick’s two-part conversation with Tom here.
When I interviewed Cuba travel expert, Christopher P. Baker, for Cuba, Libre? last July, he pointed out that Cuba needed to add more hotels, particularly outside of Havana, in order to meet the lodging needs of the expected influx of American visitors.
In today’s interview with with Rachelle Akurro of CCTV’s “Global Business” report, Baker underscores that point and talks about how the increase in tourism is affecting that island nation.
(Christopher P. Baker is a professional photographer and travel writer, guide book author, and tour guide. He has visited Cuba well over one-hundred times since 1992.)
