This year is the 50th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs
where Cuban militias alongside the police and armed forces defeated an
invasion of 1,500 mercenaries trained, armed and deployed by Washington. This
example of how it is possible to confront and resist US might is one that 50
years on the US still cannot stomach.
To mark the anniversary we will be showing a Cuban
film which has been made available to us by branch members.
The film is
66 hours : the story of Playa Giron and is based on
coverage by Luis Baez, the main Cuban journalist who covered the event at the
time. It features interviews with participants and footage of the
actual event. (NB film is in Spanish with English subtitles, 55 mins).
Please feel free to pass on details of this
event to interested parties.
Continuing on the theme of defending the revolution,
and following from our member's report last meeting, we will also be
discussing ways in which we can renew our support for The Cuba 5. If people have
ideas and information please bring them to the meeting.
