"Belly of the Beast" tells Cuba’s untold stories. Through hard-hitting journalism and stunning cinematography we inform and inspire, opening eyes and hearts to a country with a unique past and a wide-open future.
There has been a dearth of impactful journalism and documentary filmmaking on Cuba and US-Cuba relations – until now. "Belly of the Beast" is filling this void, tackling crucial issues in innovative ways that have educated and energized a wide-ranging, largely young audience. Just as important, "Belly of the Beast"’s groundbreaking journalistic model is providing an inspiring example of what a media organization can and should be, not just in Cuba, but anywhere in the world.
In 2021, "Belly of the Beast" will be carrying out a multi-part series that tells the inspiring story of how Cuba has become a world leader in the fight against Covid. In addition, "Belly of the Beast" will produce and release a documentary about a baseball player who turned down hundreds of thousands of dollars from Major League Baseball to play for his hometown team in Cuba. And we will continue to produce people-focused documentaries on issues that are often misreported, underreported or ignored.
