The film, Will The Real Terrorist Please Stand Up is about the history of US-Cuban relations. The film addresses the cause of the Cuban Five, five Cubans who were tried and sentenced 14 years ago in Miami for anti-American activities. Their trial has been seen by most of the world as having been unjust. In recent months the plight of Alan Gross, the American Jew who was arrested in Dec 2009, and sentenced to 15 years in prison, is being linked to the plight of the Cuban Five. The Cuban government has expressed its desire to have a reciprocal humanitarian exchange of Alan Gross for the Cuban Five.

It is important to know the history of US-Cuban relations, especially how it effects the Jewish community and efforts to free Alan Gross. After the film, Fulton Armstrong, a former CIA official in Cuba will answer questions. Rabbi David will moderate the discussion.

Armstrong is a Former National Intelligence Officer for Latin America who has worked on Cuban affairs at the National Security Council, National Intelligence Council, CIA, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
