    Thanks to individuals like Roberto Salas,a pro-communist, the likes of assassins like Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara are considered heroes when in fact the above mentioned are nothing more that murderers and degenerates. Just ask the thousands of family members whose loved ones have been killed by execution, jailed or that have drowned crossing the Florida straits looking for freedom…I dont think they will be buying this “waste of film” book. Shame on you Roberto Salas.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I have no intention of removing the comment above.

    However, the work being discussed is on display at a Cuban-American gallery in New York, and I am not aware of any propaganda attached to the display of the images. The viewer determines whether or not the Salas’s images are those of assassin or hero.
