Ramit Singh Chimni, Director, Eight Goals One Foundation: “Belly of the Beast was really the only source of information for us outside of Cuba that told the reality of Cuba the real truth about Cuba…” 

Belly of the Beast recently held a documentary screening at Havana’s Acapulco cinema. The screening was part of the VI International Conference for World Balance

We are here in Havana… We have over 1500 delegates from all over the world… We are here with the team of Belly of the Beast, where they have been kind enough to show all of these people from these 98 countries the real truth behind Cuba, says Ramit Singh Chimni.

Conference participants watched Belly of the Beast’s documentary series The War on Cuba. The series exposes the impact of U.S. sanctions on the Cuban people. 

Patrick Fitzpatrick, Conference Participant: “What the United States does is awful… And that's putting it mildly”. 

Niamh Ní Bhriain, Conference Participant: “And we're looking at another four years of Trump presidency and what that. Yeah. What that would mean. But also kind of seeing while the Cuban people have been through so much already and they're so resilient”.

Ramit Singh Chimni, Director, Eight Goals One Foundation: “So my request to each and everyone who is watching this is, if you do not know about Cuba… Watch the episodes of Belly of the Beast because you will see the reality of Cuba, which is very different from what you are told…”.
