The Documentary Podcast: Archive 2010 - The Other Guantanamo

Award-winning travel writer Polly Evans goes in search of the other Guantanamo, talking to local people about their home and how they feel about it becoming synonymous with what Amnesty International called "the gulag of our times".
She delves into the history of the open-ended American lease of this corner of the island - and asks whether the nearly ten thousand Cubans who held construction jobs on the site (and still draw a favourable US pension) have different feelings about it.
