Operation Peter Pan: Flying Back to Cuba (NR)

synopsis

Many of the parents had expected to follow their children, who had been granted visa waivers by the US Government, but in 1962 the Cuban Missile Crisis terminated the flights between the two countries and the children found themselves stranded in the US. In 2009, for the first time a group of the Peter Pan children now adults, visited Cuba to explore their past and help bridge the strong emotional and political divides between the two nations.
