"They chose five distant points for us to serve our unjust
sentences. . . . But nothing could stop the Five from marching together
with our people and our supporters the world over in the long battle for
freedom." —Antonio Guerrero Five Cuban
revolutionaries, framed up by the U.S. government in 1998, spent up to
16 years as part of the U.S. working class behind bars. Each reached out
to fellow prisoners with respect, solidarity, and through their own
example—and won respect and support in return. What
prepared the Cuban Five to act as each did? Above all, it was
Cuba’s socialist revolution, whose class character and values
their conduct exemplifies. With understanding, objectivity and humor, in
this 2015 interview they talk about U.S. capitalist society and its
“justice” system. And about the future of the Cuban
Revolution.

"…[T]he Pathfinder collection brings forward the perspectives of the Cuban Five themselves and elucidates their period in prison during the 2000s - would serve as a good starting point for those wishing to research related themes, and will certainly be of interest to a broad audience." — Pluto Journals.
