In this third episode, I had the chance to speak with Lourdes Díaz, the mother of a young man who was brutally murdered by Cuban border guards while attempting to flee the island. Despite an attempted coverup on behalf of the Cuban regime, years of hardship, and threats on her family´s lives, Lourdes Díaz has persevered to be able to share her story.
