Adventurer and journalist Simon Reeve heads to Cuba to find a communist country in the middle of a capitalist revolution. Two years ago Cuba announced the most sweeping and radical economic reforms the country has seen in decades. From ending state rationing to cutting one million public-sector jobs, one of the last communist bastions in the world has begun rolling back the state on an unprecedented scale. Simon Reeve meets ordinary Cubans whose lives are being transformed, from the owners of fledgling businesses to the newly rich estate agents selling properties worth up to 750,000 pounds.

In this hour-long documentary for the BBC's award-winning This World strand, Simon gets under the skin of a colourful and vibrant country famous for its hospitality and humour and asks if this new economic openness could lead to political liberalisation in a totalitarian country with a poor human rights record. Will Cuba be able to maintain the positive aspects of its long isolation under socialism - low crime, top-notch education and one of the best health systems in the world - while embracing what certainly looks like capitalism? Is this the last chance to see Cuba before it becomes just like any other country?

I cry, specially when they were at home eating Cuban food, rice, beans, banana, and meat.......last time it was 15 years ago, I would love to go for one last time but what for? my dad is gone and I really don't fit in...to them I am a gringo because I look like one........I can only hope that they can keep the US out of there once Castro is gone.......why hell, the US will be in trouble of their own....why mess around with Cuba?

Cool video. It really amazes me grown adults still embrace collectivism. It's good to see the sparkle in the eyes of all these entrepreneurs. It's sad we are going in the opposite direction here in America.

kifferton? American are going to Cuba all the time....I travel with an America passpost and all that they do is to give you a visa paper instead of stamping one in your passport......you can go in by way of Canada, Mexico or the Bahamas...but...I do believer that Americans can go now.......you have planes going from Miami, NY and one more city.
