Balseros (Rafters) is a 2002 Spanish documentary co-directed by Carles Bosch and Josep Maria Domènech about Cubans leaving during the Período Especial after the financial support of the former USSR stopped. This resulted in so much poverty that in 1994 50,000 Cubans left, unimpeded by the Cuban government, using anything they could find or build to get to the nearest land, Florida in the USA. This even included hijacking a ferry, but most left with improvised rafts, which were often not quite seaworthy.
