An e-mail in response to this piece today on the movie The Lost City:

As a freedom loving, che guevara hating, Cuban-American member of the extremist right wing Miami Mafia, I thank you profusely for your accurate review of Andy Garcia’s Lost City. I had the privilege of seeing the movie at the University of Miami prior to its release and there wasnt a dry eye in the theater. I came here at the age of four and remembered nothing of the day my family left Cuba. But during the scene where Andy’s character is finally leaving, he glances over and sees two young boys being stripped searched by milicianos, I completely lost it. I was one of those boys and had never truly pictured the moment. Mil Gracias
