Episode Undercover inside Cuba: The world’s longest-running blockade
The United States is once again tightening its grip on Cuba.
New travel and economic restrictions are adding to a brutal oil blockade that has already pushed the country deeper into crisis, leaving Cuba increasingly isolated both politically and economically.
But behind the decades of hostility between Washington and Havana, there’s a human cost that can be easy to lose sight of.
Power cuts stretch through the night. Food and medicine are scarce and millions of people are struggling with water shortages.
Today, SBS reporter for Dateline, Colin Cosier takes us inside Cuba, where he travelled undercover to document what life has become for the people caught up in an age old power struggle.
