Fight to Freedom

Ariel Coro presents a compelling and motivational keynote on imagination and ingenuity under difficult circumstances. His experiences will help your audience learn how to adopt a "never give up" attitude, and to appreciate the resources at our disposal many take for granted.

 

Flight to freedom is a riveting and humorous story of how Ariel, unbeknownst to the Cuban Government and to the delight of his neighbors, devised one of the first illegal satellite dishes to bring forbidden television channels such as CNN and HBO from the outside world to his friends and neighbors when he was only fifteen years old. He built the dish using parts from an old soviet radio, mosquito nets, construction wire and several other improvised components. This evolved into expanding business of manufacturing satellite dishes, computers and even distributing some of the island's first e-mail addresses to bypass the government censorship machine.

After a story equivalent to a tropical "Da Vinci Code" Ariel arrived to the states with little knowledge of the English language and a limited education. His new found freedom offered Ariel the opportunity to learn and become a successful professional and business man.

Ariel uses his life story as a metaphor to demonstrate the power of problem solving in an environment where resources are not readily available and creativity and innovation must step in. His background and story bring a powerful contrast to our society, where all goods and services are at our demand.
