Winner of the Key West Film Festival. Sailing Documentary of the Year.
His family fled Cuba when Castro took over. Now, after 50 years, master sailor Finbar Gittelman returns to Havana for the first time to see what is left of his former home. Sailing to Cuba on his beloved Topsail Schooner "WOLF", Captain Finbar tells stories of his life on the open sea, battling hurricanes, and facing off with the Cuban military during the Mariel Boat Lift.
Filmed in Key West, the Florida Straits and in various locations in Cuba, this documentary is filled with exceptional vistas as well as original Cuban Music and newly recorded sea shanties made especially for this film.
