Join us for a special End the Siege On Cuba event featuring the powerful documentary Cuba After Castro and an in-person discussion with Elizabeth Ribalta Rubiera, Northern European Officer for ICAP (Cuban Friendship Institute)!

Cuba After Castro presents the first and only U.S. interview with Miguel Díaz-Canel, exploring Cuba’s lesser-known history and turbulent present, and offering a revealing portrait of the man tasked with steering the nation’s future after the Castro era.

This documentary follows the first in-depth U.S. interview with Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuba’s first post-Revolution leader. As he confronts U.S. sanctions, a pandemic, and historic protests, the film chronicles his unexpected rise from unassuming organizer to Castro’s successor, offering a rare view of revolutionary Cuba suppressed in the West.

Following the screening, we welcome Elizabeth Ribalta Rubiera, Northern European Officer for ICAP (Cuban Friendship Institute). Liz brings extensive experience in international solidarity, having worked with U.S. brigades and the Pastors for Peace Caravan. Elizabeth has a wealth of experience of international relations, having worked at ICAP since 2014. Her roles include United States group coordinator in the North America division, where she led international volunteer work brigades and worked with the Pastors for Peace Caravan which brings material aid and delegations from the US each year. She also worked in the ICAP department that looks after foreign students, including working directly with young students studying at the Latin American School of Medicine.
