Let me explain the background. This film. "In Their Own Words." is a pictorial essay of the economic and social failure of the Communist government of Cuba. The conditions described by many of the Cuban refugees in the film account for the massive exodus from Cuba a year ago. The film tells of a crippled economy and an oppressive regime. but more importantly it puts a human face on the countless refugees who risked their lives to begin anew in the land of the free and the home of the brave. For most of us the Cuban refugees are merely statistics on the front pages of our newspapers. This film reminds us that the refugees are peopledesperate and brave people. They are people who want to live in freedom and who want an opportunity to better themselves and the lot of their children. As a Senator from Florida.
