As tensions rose between the United States and Cuba, Castro began to nationalize important industries within Cuba. The premium tobacco industry was among those nationalized and many traditional Cuban tobacco-growing families lost everything and had to flee to the US, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras to rebuild. Hand Rolled follows those families on a decades-long struggle to reestablish themselves in uncertain economies throughout Latin America.
