From filmmakers David & Stephen Schendel. The U.S. began the decades-long trade embargo of Cuba in 1959, leaving 150,000 American autos stranded on the island-many of which are still being driven by Cubans today! Considered Yank tanks," these now-classic cars are cherished by those lucky enough to have one. This film explores the underground network of mechanics and innovators that maintain this fleet of Yank Tanks. 2002/color/70 min/NR.
