Miss D and Roberto discuss his start in Cuba with his Mother as a dancer from Spain and his Father as a circus performer. After going to theater school in Cuba, he was sent to a rehabilitation camp for protesting the government’s round-up of his gay friends, escaped while he was harvesting sugarcane, and swam to Guantanamo Bay, gaining his freedom. They cover his rise to success in film making, being called the Mayor of the Meatpacking District, and his many humanitarian efforts.
