Living Inside the Revolution

In November 1999 I packed my bags and left behind the dull Irish climate for a year of Caribbean sunshine. I'd been offered a job in Havana as a translator for a Cuban government organisation. I couldn't have guessed then that my one year would span into six and that those six years would offer me a unique opportunity to experience what it is like to live in a society torn by the complex dynamics of revolution, socialism and poverty. Living Inside the Revolution is a portrait of that society. It is a portrait of the everyday lives of people struggling for survival.
