Cuban Stories: Episode 11 - The Pedro Pan Kids

Episode 11 is titled The Pedro Pan Kids, and discusses Operación Pedro Pan (also known as Operation Peter Pan) where 14,000 unaccompanied children were sent to exile in the United States to avoid communist indoctrination in Cuba. The episode also includes an excerpt from Chapter 4 of The Pedro Pan Girls, written by Betty Viamontes, author of the award winning book, The waiting glass-enclosed area at the airport in La Habana was nicknamed the pecera - the fishbowl. This analogy doesn't escape me thinking of the lyrics of a song by Willy Chirino, a Pedro Pan kid, "En la maleta traje un colibrí, un libro de Martí, un sueño y un danzón - In my suitcase I brought a hummingbird, a book about Jose Martí, a dream and a song."
