'VIVA TRUMP!': Rebel News goes undercover in Communist Cuba

The reality on the ground in Cuba is far more dire than the world knows. Rebel News exposes what life is really like for those living under the Communist regime in this exclusive documentary.

Tonight at 7 p.m. ET (5 p.m. MT), Rebel News premieres our undercover investigative report from inside Communist Cuba.


Just days after the U.S. arrested Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, Rebel News' Alexa Lavoie and Efrain Monsanto secretly entered one of the world’s most tightly controlled countries — posing as tourists, hiding our identities, and filming in conditions where a single mistake could have meant detention or worse.

The reality on the ground is far more dire than we expected. This isn’t the picture Cuban authorities want you to see.

The Cubans we met spoke to us at enormous personal risk — simply for telling the truth. Their faces had to be blurred for safety, but their words reveal the reality the government desperately tries to hide.

Electricity blackouts, food shortages, fear, and silence have defined life under the dictatorship for decades — we're exposing it all.

State-controlled media would never allow these voices to be heard.

This investigation was covert, dangerous, and required extraordinary precautions — for us and for the Cubans who trusted us with their stories. If you can help ensure this report reaches as many people as possible, please click here or visit TheTruthAboutCuba.com.

Reporting from authoritarian states isn’t easy — and it certainly isn’t cheap. Travel, security, equipment, translators, and logistics all add up, and there’s no government funding or corporate sponsorship covering the bill. If you believe independent journalism should have the courage to go where others won’t, please consider making a contribution to support this mission. Every donation helps us continue uncovering the truth and sharing the stories that would otherwise remain hidden.

    If this is what it’s like in central Havana, conditions in the countryside must be positively Neolithic.

    May the who continent of South America be communism-free by 2029! Trump is proving to be the bravest president America has ever had. I also hope the Democrats will end up living in infamy for their insane hatred of Trump. Maybe we’ll get regime change here in Canada too.
