Reed Lindsay: War On Cuba
Channel: Ed Mays
Date: 2021-01-28

Filmed in Cuba, the “War on Cuba” is a powerful new documentary series unlike any seen before.  It was produced by a unique collaborative of US and Cuban journalists and documentary filmmakers called the Belly of the Beast. Formed in early 2020, it is the only media organization with a permanent presence in Cuba that combines cinematic video with substantive, high-impact journalism geared toward filling the void left by media coverage of Cuba and US-Cuba relations.

The film was viewed more than 400,000 times on the Internet and Belly of the Beast has grown its social media presence from zero to 30,000 followers in only nine months on various platforms.

This week I interview the director of the series Reed Lindsay who is also the founder of Belly of the Beast.  Then we are going to broadcast all three segments of “War on Cuba” for the first time on Television.  Reed tells me that they are gearing up to produce more segments this year, which we hope to broadcast.  But in the mean time many more of their short films can be found on the Belly of the Beast website and YouTube channel.
