Having Jamaica as its closest neighbour one would think that Rastafarianism would have a greater influence in Cuba. The strict control of religious media has meant that smaller religions like Rastafarianism have struggled to find roots. The small community of Cuban Rastas in Havana struggle to gain access to literature, music and other religious related items to help them worship their religion.

This group struggle with prejudice and police harassment but stand strong in their faith.
