Plantados

A captivating and powerful depiction of the misery Castro's communist regime inflicted upon political prisoners and their families. A story not often told or portrayed to the American public. A must watch for everyone.

This movie is a sobering look at the suffering of many brave people. The violence in this movie is a pointed reminder that there are those in the world who do not share in the freedoms that many others do. A tough but important watch that will leave you better informed about the history of Cuban dictatorship. Highly recommend!

I want to congratulate the great director Lilo Vilaplana for his film "Plantados" that I had the opportunity to see at the Miami Film Festival with the pride of also seeing the great performance of Roberto Escobar and many great actors who They are 10 in their performance, the movie is heartbreaking, surely it will win many international awards, an excellent direction, where you do not even know which one to go to of all the actors, because they are all excellent, It's great to see movies as well done as this movie, I congratulate you Lilo, tremendous directing job !!!

This movie is amazing being a daughter of a political prisoner and watched it with my dad. Everything in the movie is spot on to the reality these men went through. Im glad the story was told.

As Cuban living in Cuba i was aware about the way political prisoners , including rebels from Castros'guerrilla and soldiers from prior dictator Batista were treated on Cuban's jails and prison. Once living in Miami i was able to become a friend of one of the many survivals from these periods and he used to mention all these cruelty and multiple tortures he and his jails mates suffers, also what they did to their families. Definitely war crimes and human right violations constantly performed under Fidel Castro regime. It is the first real movie were these historical facts have been documented. Please pay attention the the end, it is s reality, those criminals are coming to the States and live the American dream enjoying welfare and Medicare without even questioning them. Only a few, thanks to brave witness still alive of his crimes has been deported or they escape back to Cuba, avoiding trial. Most be watch so we never forget!
