A unique look at the immigrant experience, this documentary relates the story of the thousands of refugees who took up Fidel Castro's offer to leave Cuba if they wished, becoming 'balseros' (rafters) who risked their lives travelling on homemade rafts to reach America. Seven survivors' poignant stories are told, following them over a period of seven years as they struggle to adapt to their new homeland. Nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar.
