Trading
With the Enemy
follows an American who's looking to make a fast buck
in Cuba's illegal cigar trade. Fat cats back home clamor
for the forbidden tobacco, and Terry knows just how to
get it.
From Austin, Texas to Havana, Cuba, our guide Terry shows
us the ropes of this black market bonanza. Hoping to make
a few dollars themselves, locals help Terry navigate the
murky waters of illegal, back street fabricas. But cigars
aren't all that he's after, and many young women of Havana
have a lucrative business of their own making friends with
gringos like Terry.
Interweaving the cigar and sex trades with a healthy dose
of Havana's sights and sounds, Trading with
the Enemy opens a window on the sorry state
of exploitation and survival in the waning years of Castro's
Cuba.
