    Episode 3 – “Opening, Closing, and Trump” examines Cuba after the Cold War, a nation caught between reform and retrenchment.

It then explores Cuba’s post-Soviet hardship, limited market reforms, and generational change within the Communist Party. The narrative turns to the Trump administration’s policy reversals, tightening restrictions and reviving a hard-line stance.

    Episode 2 – “Missiles, Embargoes, and Exiles” places Cuba at the center of the Cold War.

It then revisits the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, showing how it cemented Fidel Castro’s power and deepened ties with the Soviet Union. The episode explores the long U.S. embargo, decades of isolation, and waves of exile that reshaped Cuban society and American politics. It reveals how confrontation hardened on both sides, turning Cuba into a frozen conflict that outlasted the Cold War itself.

    Episode 1 – “Revolution on the Island” traces Cuba’s transformation from a U.S.-dominated playground to the heart of a socialist revolution.

The story centers on Fidel Castro’s rise—from the failed Moncada Barracks attack to guerrilla war in the Sierra Maestra—ending with Batista’s collapse in 1959. The episode closes by examining how a revolution promised as liberation quickly consolidated into a new authoritarian state.
