Family or freedom? Discover the astonishing history of the mass evacuation of Cuban children, leaving communism - and their loved ones - behind.

Family or freedom? Discover the astonishing history of the mass evacuation of Cuban children, leaving communism-and their loved ones-behind.

We Are Pan is based on the true story of Operaci n Pedro Pan, a joint effort between the U.S. government and the Catholic Welfare Bureau to evacuate 14,000 children from Cuba to the U.S. between 1960 and 1962. With the rise of communism following Fidel Castro's revolution, parents feared for their children's future and, through this secret operation, secured passage for them to America. These children (later referred to as ""Pedro Pans"") would be distributed across the U.S., mostly living in foster homes. In many cases, these children never saw their families again, and their lives would be changed forever. This is their story.
