I was used to life in Cuba...
1:45:15
but I always hoped
1:45:19
to leave someday.
1:45:31
I was lucky enough
to win "El Bombo".

1:45:37
"El Bombo"
is a raffle of visas...

1:45:40
carried out by
the U.S. government...

1:45:43
that...
1:45:46
there's an average of...
1:45:48
half a million Cubans
that apply every two years.

1:45:52
Only 20,000 applicants
get their visa.

1:45:58
I was lucky enough
to get the visa...

1:46:01
and I can also take my child.
1:46:06
Before, I didn't take her
in the raft

1:46:10
to avoid risking her life.
1:46:15
Well...
1:46:16
I've just got a few days...
1:46:19
of formalities.
1:46:51
The last time!
