How to use Realidad Cubana
To answer a claim in an argument
When someone repeats an official talking point (“healthcare in Cuba is exemplary”, “the embargo stops Cuba from buying food”), there is no need to argue opinions: send them the direct link to the matching sector:
- Health:
https://realidadcubana.org/en/sectores/salud - Food:
https://realidadcubana.org/en/sectores/alimentacion - Blackouts:
https://realidadcubana.org/en/sectores/apagones - Political prisoners:
https://realidadcubana.org/en/presos - Historical memory:
https://realidadcubana.org/en/memoria
Each page opens with the exact claim, the admitted figures and the verified recordings.
How to follow the original creators
This project succeeds when you leave our site and subscribe to the YouTube channel, TikTok account or independent outlet of whoever recorded the reality. Click “See original source” on any card to support the people documenting the situation at risk to their own safety.
What to do if a video was deleted
Censorship often forces citizen posts to be taken down. When that happens, use the “Archived copy” link on the card to open the copy saved on Archive.org.
