In a few short weeks, nearly 130,000 Cubans left their homeland in an unrelenting stream of vessels bound for America. More than two decades later, the personal stories surrounding the Mariel Boatlift continue to resonate with an energy that can only be described as surreal, powerful. Weaving together these riveting stories along with rare, historical images, and footage from present-day Cuba, this film recreates this "explosion of 1980," a crisis that shook the very foundations of Cuban as well as American society. -- © GATOMEDIA [More]

Reviews for Beyond the Sea
Lisandro Perez-Rey's excellent documentary is a riveting account of one of the most extraordinary events in U.S. immigration history.
Beyond the Sea (Más Allá del Mar) not to be confused with the recent Bobby Darin biopic of the same English title, tells the story of the Mariel boatlift from Cuba.
Grants a quiet dignity to its subjects without sanctifying them. And the less-than-ideal outcome of many of their lives rings all the more powerfully for being so plainly presented.
