A historic Summit of the Americas will host both President Obama and Cuban president Raul Castro, as the leaders break over 50 years of Cold War tensions. We discuss the impact these talks will have with Alberto Coll from DePaul University. Milos Stehlik joins us on the show with Carla Oritz and director Carlos Bolado to talk about the Bolivian film Olvidados, screening in Chicago this weekend. Finally we get a taste of Proseco with Enrica Rocca on Weekend Passport.
