Fifteen-time Emmy Award winner and Pura Belpre honoree Sonia Manzano examines the impact of the 1959 Cuban Revolution on four children from very different walks of life.

Through these snapshot stories, we are reminded that regardless of any tumultuous times, we are all forever connected in our humanity.
