Plantados

This movie is amazing being a daughter of a political prisoner and watched it with my dad. Everything in the movie is spot on to the reality these men went through. Im glad the story was told.

As Cuban living in Cuba i was aware about the way political prisoners , including rebels from Castros'guerrilla and soldiers from prior dictator Batista were treated on Cuban's jails and prison. Once living in Miami i was able to become a friend of one of the many survivals from these periods and he used to mention all these cruelty and multiple tortures he and his jails mates suffers, also what they did to their families. Definitely war crimes and human right violations constantly performed under Fidel Castro regime. It is the first real movie were these historical facts have been documented. Please pay attention the the end, it is s reality, those criminals are coming to the States and live the American dream enjoying welfare and Medicare without even questioning them. Only a few, thanks to brave witness still alive of his crimes has been deported or they escape back to Cuba, avoiding trial. Most be watch so we never forget!

A captivating and powerful depiction of the misery Castro's communist regime inflicted upon political prisoners and their families. A story not often told or portrayed to the American public. A must watch for everyone.

Great movie denouncing the lies of the communism regime in Cuba.

This is a very well produced movie with few resources. They do counted with a great cast and crew of people who delivered a stunning piece of art, where the history of the abuse and absence of human rights in Cuban prisons is portrayed exactly as it happened, according to the testimonies of political prisoners called "Plantados". "Plantados" refused to be treated as regular prisoners given they were imprisoned for political reasons. The brutality of the guards was inhuman according to the movie, and it was well documented along the almost 2 hours of the film.

This movie is a must see for people looking to learn a part of history well hidden until now.
