The Cuban revolution is particularly personal for Alina Fernández. When Alina was 10 years old, she found out that her father was none other than its leader - Fidel Castro. Revolution's Daughter tells the story of the aftermath of the 1953 - 1959 revolution through Alina's eyes - and those of other expatriates - who have never stopped feeling, or being, Cuban. They left so they could have a voice. They left so they could have choice. They left so they could be free. But they long for the day when Cuba might once again be a country they can call home. Alina and director, Thaddeus Matula speak to Susie about her father's legacy and the passion that built Miami's thriving Cuban community. Revolution's Daughter is screening at the Doc Edge Festival.
