Description

From 1960 to 1962, 14,048 Cuban minors arrived in Miami. María de los Angeles Torres used to be six years old when she took part on this massive airlift-now referred to as Operation Pedro Pan-during which parents, terrified that the brand new communist government would ship their children to Soviet work camps, sent them as a substitute to The united states. Torres examines the event from both a historical and a personal standpoint. This ‘relentless investigator of history’ (Miami Herald) forces declassification of key documents, challenging us all in the end to come to terms with this pivotal yet in large part neglected exodus.
