Unemployment has reached record levels, inequalities are increasing and the economy has nearly collapsed. Now people are starting to blame Castro. A woman shows us around her decrepit home. For the past two years, she has been reduced to living in an abandoned cinema. “It leaks a lot and the top floor is also collapsing,” she complains. “The economic, political and social situation in Cuba really couldn’t get any worse,” states prominent dissenter Vladimiro Roca.
