Documentary Presented at European Solidarity with Cuba Meeting

CUBA, May 17, 2010. The president of the Bulgaria-Cuba Association presented a copy of the new documentary film “The Day Diplomacy Died” to all the participating delegations at the 15th European Solidarity with Cuba meeting which concluded on Sunday in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The director of the documentary, journalist Bernie Dwyer, was a guest at the meeting and showed the film at the meeting last Saturday. The interest in the film was such that the convening committee made the decision to purchase enough copies to give each of the 27 participant countries a complimentary copy to take back for use in their campaigns against the current media war against Cuba.

‘The Day Diplomacy Died’ sets the record straight on the arrests and jailing of 75 mercenaries called by the western media at the service of the US “independent journalists, trade unionists and librarians”.

Four Cuban State agents speak out for the first time on the film on why the Cuban government locked up these 75 so called “independent” journalists, trade unionists and librarians. They tell of the inner workings of the counter- revolutionary groups they infiltrated and of the various, and often frightening, plans hatched to destabilize their country.

The documentary film also features two former Heads of the Diplomatic Staff of the US Interests Section in Havana, Ricardo Alarcon, President of the Cuban Parliament and human rights lawyer, Jose Pertierra, who explains how Cuba, under international and Cuban law, has the right to protect its country’s sovereignty from interference by its biggest and most powerful enemy.

‘The Day Diplomacy Died’ (33 mins) is written and directed by Bernie Dwyer and Roberto Ruiz Rebo and produced by ‘Two Islands Productions’ (Ireland). (Cubaminrex- ACN)
