Why do you think the Cuban government
is so afraid of your music?

1:27:10
They're not afraid of my music,
they're afraid of ideas.

1:27:14
Come on,
Fidel Castro is afraid of your ideas?

1:27:17
Fidel Castro is afraid
of any idea that's not his.

1:27:21
-You know how he overthrew Batista?
-It was a popular revolution.

1:27:25
It was a popular idea, it was a great idea.
1:27:28
He promised Cuban people
what they were desperate for:

1:27:30
Restoration of a constitution, democracy,
freedom from a dictatorship.

1:27:34
He did it with 80 people and 50 guns.
1:27:37
And a boat that nearly sank
because of a running toilet.

1:27:40
That can't be all they had.
1:27:41
That's all he needed because the idea
gave him the strength of an army.

1:27:48
The reason I've come here is
to see if maybe I could talk about Arturo.

1:27:54
So he could be allowed to play his music.
1:27:57
It's not entirely an issue of music.
1:28:01
-I'm sorry?
-And it isn't entirely about Arturo.

1:28:06
You were also seen entertaining
foreigners in your home.

1:28:09
Are you questioning my loyalty?
1:28:13
There is a pattern
of counter-revolutionary behavior.

1:28:18
With all due respect,
what revolution are you talking about?

1:28:22
-Is there some confusion?
-Apparently.

1:28:26
My revolution doesn't sound
anything like your revolution.

1:28:30
Mine is not about informing
on your neighbors.

1:28:33
It's about creating a new society.
1:28:37
Genuine equality, remember?
1:28:40
A place where our children can thrive.
1:28:44
I'm sure you will agree that no country
loves its children more than Cuba.

1:28:48
Until they grow up.
1:28:50
CompaƱera.
1:28:52
I know you love your husband, but
don't say something you may regret later.

1:28:58
The revolution needs
everyone's support to survive.
