In 2003, Normando Hern�ndez Gonz�lez was among seventy-five Cuban journalists arrested in the "Black Spring." They were tried and sentenced to Cuba's harshest prisons. In 2011, Adam Braver and Molly Gessford met with the recently released and exiled Gonz�lez in Madrid. In his own words, this is the story of how far one man would go to maintain his human rights and how far others would go to stop him.
