-The 1969 film ''Popi'' lays bare the farce of “creeping socialism”. A Puerto Rican widower living in New York City, Popi hatches a harebrained scheme that he almost pulls off, in order to create an escape hatch for his two sons from a life of poverty, crime, and negative influence in Spanish Harlem. His scheme is to pass them off as Cuban refugees in Miami, so that the mainstream press and public will take pity on them as poor escapees from Castro's communism, and shower them with love and assistance, opportunities which would never happen for poor citizens already living in the United States.
+Alan Arkin is incredible in the 1969 film ''Popi'', which lays bare the farce of “creeping socialism”. His accent is so authentic, you'd swear he's Latino. Popi, a Puerto Rican widower living in New York City, hatches a harebrained scheme that he almost pulls off, in order to create an escape hatch for his two sons from a life of poverty, crime, and negative influence in Spanish Harlem. His scheme is to pass them off as Cuban refugees in Miami, so that the mainstream press and public will take pity on them as poor escapees from Castro's communism, and shower them with love and assistance, opportunities which would never happen for poor citizens already living in the United States.
