AMERICAN REBELS IN CUBA

AMERICAN REBELS IN CUBA tells the extraordinary story of Neill Macaulay, one of the few non-Cubans to be intimately involved in the Cuban Revolution, and his wife Nancy. In 1958, Neill, an Army veteran from South Carolina, joined Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement, believing in the rebels' fight for human rights. Serving under Comandante Escalona, he rose to rebel officer, enduring combat and eventually overseeing firing squads as Castro took power. Rewarded with a tomato farm, the couple's dream of a life in Cuba unraveled amid the shifting revolution, forcing their departure. Featuring archival footage, photos and home movies shot in Cuba, Neill and Nancy’s story offers an inside look at one of the most important historical events of the 20th century.
