On the 50th
anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, the film 90
Miles recounts the strange twist of fate that took
Juan Carlos Zaldívar, a once young loyalist of the
Cuban Revolution, across one of the world's most
treacherous stretches of water. It is a journey of a
family in search for healing and understanding.
Probing and thoughtful, Zaldívar uncovers the
emotional distance opened in thousands of families
by the 90 miles between the U.S. and Cuba. In 1980,
Juan Carlos Zaldívar was a 13-year-old loyalist of
the Cuban Revolution jeering in the streets at the
thousands of "Marielitos" leaving the island by boat
for the United States. Within weeks, he was a
Marielito himself, headed with the rest of his
family for a new life in Miami. Now U.S.-based,
Zaldívar recounts the strange twist of fate that
took him across the "90 Miles" stretch of water.
