Creator: Brian Nitz

Dry Foot Policy (MacGyver meets a Cuban resolver)

Creator: Brian Nitz
MacGyver made improvisation fun and brought many young people to science. What if he met his match in a Cuban balsero refugee? Sofia Fuentes grew up with the spirit of resolvemos "we'll figure it out", inventing and improvising out of necessity after the U.S. embargo and collapse of the U.S.S.R. left her family with very little. She rescues MacGyver and a Haitian priest refugee on her way to the U.S. while showing him the resolvemos way of practical necessary improvisation.
