Latin Pulse: 4.27.2012

This week, Latin Pulse takes a look at two very different dissident movements.  First, a concentration on the crackdown against anti-Castro groups in Cuba after the visit of Pope Benedict XVI.  Then the program shifts farther south to look at the Chilean student movement and why those students are setting an example for groups around the globe.  The program also includes the latest on the Secret Service sex scandal which may have spread from Colombia to include El Salvador.

In-Depth Interviews:
Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat of the Directorio Democrático Cubano, and 
Lisa Llanos of the Center for Democracy in the Americas.

Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell
Associate Producer: Vanessa Haces Gonzatti
