Plot:	Seven Cubans and their families travel to the United States on homemade rafts in 1994.    In the summer of 1994, a team of public television reporters filmed and interviewed seven Cubans, and their families, beginning a few days before their risky venture of setting out to sea in homemade rafts to reach the coast of the United States. One of the balseros (rafters) was on a raft that was not seaworthy and had to return to Havana. The others made it far enough to be picked up at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard and taken to the North American naval base at Guantanamo, where the film crew caught up with them, and recorded their many months of confinement. Their families in Cuba had no news of them. When the balseros were finally allowed to go to the United States, the film crew went with them to a string of cities that included Miami; the Bronx; York, Pennsylvania; Grand Isle, Nebraska; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and a host of other places to which the lives of these immigrants carried them. Seven years later, the film crew visits them again, to discover what their destiny has been in the United States. Theirs is a true story about some of the authentic survivors of our times, the human adventure of people who are shipwrecked between two worlds.

Title:	Conga lessons at the Bay of Pigs : a personal journey
Director:	Peter Melaragno.
Format:	1 videodisc (51 min.) ; sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in. DVD (Region 1)
Imprint:	[Gulfport, Fla. : Peter Melaragno], 2003.
Language:	English
Notes:	An Atlantic Productions Presentation. Directed, written and edited by Peter Melaragno.
Plot:	Just before Christmas 2002 three Americans from South Florida traveled to Cuba to make this film documenting the dignity and resourcefulness of the Cuban people. Includes several musical performances by island performers.    In December 2002, three Americans traveled to Cuba under the U.S. Government's People-to-People exemption of the Trading With the Enemy Act, which at the time allowed for a variety of educational and cultural exchanges between the United States and Cuba.    The original purpose of the travelers had been to avoid the more than forty years of political drama inherent to American-Cuban relations.    Instead, they sought to immerse themselves in the musical culture of Cuba. They wanted to experience firsthand this small impoverished island with which the American government has all but totally prohibited commercial and cultural contact.    In Havana, the men stayed in what is known on the island as a "Casa Particular" (or private home) -- this one owned by an elderly woman named Estelle. Here they paid for both room and board while taking in the city's famously crumbling facades and its stunning Afro-Cuban music.    Later they headed south with a driver toward the Bay of Pigs and the cities of Trinidad and Santa Clara. Their final destination, however, was Santiago de Cuba, where they were invited to stay at another "Casa Particular," this one owned by Cesar. In fact, Cesar had invited the travelers to his family’s holiday feast and while the music and lilting rhythms of the island dominate most of this video, it is this day of Christmas spent with Cesar that gives these 52 minutes an unexpected weight.    Here, the American filmmakers realize that it is impossible for Americans to visit Cuba only for its music, that Cuban-American politics is the subtext of nearly everything.    Here, the momentous Bay of Pigs fiasco is recalled and the injustice of its aftermath on the Cuban people – continuing now for over forty-two years – is carved into memory forever.
