The fabulous news is that this gorgeous film is now available on DVD.
The 2nd piece of fabulous news is that I have a couple of copies to give away today, plus a promotion you will totally be excited about.
The 3rd piece of fabulous news is that I received the very first copy of the DVD as a gift from Director, Jose Enrique Pardo and Producer, Daniel Bellas. Okay, that's not truly fabulous news, it just makes me feel sooo accidentally cool. (But that's not important right now.)
First of all, I'm giving away, not one, but two (2) copies of the Cubamerican DVD.
To enter this drawing for a chance to win a DVD of the documentary, Cubamerican, please leave a comment on this post and tell me:

The 2nd piece of fabulous news is for those of you who just don't want to wait (I know how you guys get), the generous folks at Cubamerican have a BOGO* offer for the first ten buyers. (*Buy One. Get One.)
