About this episode

The episode revisits an interview with Alex Fraga about his family's experiences in Cuba and the impact of recent power blackouts.

With recent reports of power blackouts in Cuba, we revisit an interview we did last year with Alex Fraga, owner of Hemingway's Cuba in Asheville, North Carolina. His father, the late Tony Fraga, was forced to flee Cuba because of the policies of dictator Fidel Castro.
