➡️ How a fishing trip turned into 9 months in a Cuban prison - and somehow saved this man's life.
In 1973, Gordon Hesse joined what he thought would be a two-week fishing trip to Jamaica. Instead, he found himself arrested by Cuban authorities, thrown into solitary confinement, and facing an uncertain future in one of Cuba's most notorious prisons. Decades later, he shares how this harrowing experience actually changed his life for the better.
