Movie: "The WASP Network" (Pro-Castro film??)
« on: September 06, 2019, 06:03:55 am »
The Babalublog.com website is highly critical of this movie, calling it basically a brazen pro-Castro film, I just found this out myself.   And to boot, 4 Americans were killed, perhaps, all Cuban-Americans, I do remember the incident explained before. They are on the right of the below graphic, they saved Cubans who were in the sea trying to make it to Florida.

Glitz and glamour versus the harsh reality: Castro spies took part in murder conspiracy

The Cuban intelligence service should not be either romanticized or underestimated.  It appears that the new film by Olivier Assayas errs on both counts.

This is not surprising because apologists tend to avoid open and transparent debates due to the weakness of their position, and the Castro regime and its agents of influence have conducted an effective disinformation campaign to smear the victims and white wash the Cuban spy network, better known as the Wasp Network (Red Avispa).

The Wasp Network engaged in espionage: targeting U.S. military facilities, planned to smuggle arms and explosives into the United States, provided information that led to the extrajudicial killings of four Americans, infiltrated two non-violent exile groups, and carried out numerous other activities to sow division and shape public opinion.

‘Wasp Network’ Review: Olivier Assayas’ Spy Epic Is a Rare Misstep From a Master Filmmaker
David Ehrlich


Assayas is among the world's greatest filmmakers, but his rushed and scattered Cuban spy epic bites off more than it can chew.

Cuban-American actor Tony “Jefe” Plana stars in Castroite propaganda blurb badly-disguised as movie (“Wasp Network”) filmed in Cuba with gleeful co-operation of the Castro regime, “movie” vilifies Cuban-exiles as “terrorists,” glorifies their communist murderers as “heroes.”
