Description: Pacific Film Archive collection; non-circulating. CBPF.; The U.S. blockade of Cuba covers more than trade. At the 10th Central American and Caribbean Games held in Puerto Rico in 1966, the U.S. tried, unsuccessfully, to stop the Cubans from participating. The film starts aboard the Cerro Pelado (the boat carrying the Cubans to Puerto Rico) with the athletes insisting on their right to play in the games and shows beautiful scenes of training sessions. The Cubans are allowed to participate and in exciting slow motion sequences, they defeat contestants one after another.; PFA 1620-01-4431.
