I'm in the process of creating a series to show the harmful effects of Communism through interviewing Communism Survivors. What should I ask them?

I use this video here as a model: https://youtu.be/3lpTceEE3d8

Edit: The goal of this series is to stick these people's lives in everyone's face to show how horrible Marxism/Socialism/Communism is and do so many of these that people stop believing in such a horrible idology

if they were there from when their countries fell, ask if they recall details of the stages of the takeover. Older cubans will have stories (since you said you're in FL).

That's a good point, I'll have to remember that

an elderly client moved here from Cuba as a teen. her father and uncles had a family business and a farm that were seized by government. she escaped with her mom & brothers. father eventually immigrated. came here with nothing.

if there are vietnamese & cambodian communities, they have terrible stories to share as well. when i first moved to los angeles in 90's, i really loved the (ahem) diversity - being able to hear first hand stories of people from different countries and parts of the US, what life was like where they came from and the journeys that brought them here.

work gave me the opportunity to spend time with people from from SE Asia and Russia in the 90's. my recollection is people who come here from those countries are so grateful to be able to own their own business/livelihood, they take full advantage of the opportunities to build something (be it a repair shop, donut shop, coffee shop) from sweat so they and their children will always have a roof and food without need of government handouts that always come with strings -

If you know any of these people, please message me. I would like to get them lined up for interviews
