Sick Old Man

Background

Sick Old Man is a refugee from Cuba. His relative is Young Boy.


During the events of Invasion U.S.A. (1985) played by Ruben Rabasa

A group of Cuban refugees are on a boat heading to Miami. Young Boy asks Sick Old Man how far it is to Florida and what will happen if they are caught by the Americans. The Captain says the engine wont start. The Young Boy sees a ship coming towards them with an American flag. The refugees start to celebrate and the ship comes to the refugee boat. Rostov, wearing an American Navy uniform, tells the refugees welcome to the United States and then walks to the lower deck and sticks out his hand to Sick Old Man. As Sick Old Man reaches for Rostov, Rostov shoots him in the head and the rest of the refugees are shot and killed.
