Yup, that's right! Considered subversive. Just emailed Anderson Cooper's "Keeping them honest," but we all know how "honest" CNN and the mainstream media are. Anyway, here's Dr Darsi Ferrer's take on the matter. It's in Spanish, so among the highlights.
- The film is subversive because it is filled with "lies" that do not accurately reflect the "drama" of healthcare in Cuba.
- Fidel Castro resorted to a Spanish surgeon. Vice minister Ramirez turned to France for surgery on the gastric cancer that killed him. Fidel Castro's physician reached out to British doctors for ocular surgery. Dr. Ferrer maintains that they who had access to the best facilities demonstrated very little confidence in the competent "revolutionary medicine."
- The system of healthcare in Cuba can be summarized in one word: "chaos"
There are many other details. If I have the time and energy, I'll translate and post the whole thing. Isn't it rich?
(To be circumspect, I don't have an official source, but Dr Darsi Ferrer is a leading dissident, and I'll take his word for it, not to mention that anyone familiar with the regime can pretty much bank on it never being shown to the public.)

The irony is rich. No doubt, he will proffer some sort of explanation.
I doubt he will because the media will not bring it up. They have their own agenda. It would be delightful if he were put on the spot.
