Content creator Nick Shirley alleges he was 'almost taken hostage' in Cuba while filming the island's severe shortages. Cuban authorities seized his cameras and intelligence agents shadowed him, nearly leading to arrest.
Shirley claims he's planning an escape route via the US embassy or an early flight amid limited options.
He says under communism, there's no free speech, and those who show reality or speak up are imprisoned.
The situation in Cuba is worse than anyone knows, Shirley claims, citing surgeons performing operations with flashlights due to power outages.
