In 1980, a bus driver in Havana crashes through the fence of the Peruvian Embassy in a bid for political asylum. This event sets off an outbreak of protests in Cuba, with thousands of people demanding to leave the island. In response, Cuban leader Fidel Castro opens Mariel, a port city about 90 miles off the coast of Key West. Over the course of a few months, a number of private American ships flock to the port and carry 125,000 Cubans to the United States.

Dana Stevens New York Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 23, 2005 Full Review Russell Scott Smith New York Post It's ultimately a shallow effort. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 23, 2005 Full Review David Ng Village Voice 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. Mar 22, 2005 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide Lisandro Perez-Rey's excellent documentary is a riveting account of one of the most extraordinary events in U.S. immigration history. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 25, 2005 Full Review David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor Full of fascinating eye-witness accounts. Rated: 3/4 Mar 24, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
