[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

Belly of the Beast recently held a screening of two documentaries on Cuban medical missions. One is focused on Cuban doctors deployed to Calabria, Italy, and another follows a brigade of African students from ELAM (Cuba's Latin American School of Medicine), who traveled to Guinea-Bissau to provide medical care based on the training they received on the island. Some of the ELAM students attended the screening and were given a standing ovation.

One audience member said: "Thank you for being heroes, not just of Cuba, but of the entire world."
