90 Miles on POV
In 1980 MediaRights.org member Juan Carlos Zaldivar was a 13-year-old loyalist of the Cuban Revolution jeering in the streets at the thousands of "Marielitos" leaving the island by boat for the United States. Within weeks, he was a "Marielito' himself, headed with the rest of his family for a new life in Miami. Now a US based filmmaker, Zaldivar recounts the strange twist of fate that took him across one of the world's most treacherous stretches of water in 90 Miles, a new documentary having its broadcast premiere this summer on PBS' acclaimed POV series. MediaRights.org's Executive Director Nicole Betancourt worked as a producer on the film.
90 Miles airs Tuesday, 29 July, at 10pm on PBS. Be sure to check your local listings.
