Why have record numbers of people been leaving Cuba? | Inside Story

Cuba last year saw its largest exodus of people in a 12-month period since Fidel Castro's revolution of the 1950s.
President Joe Biden has announced new measures: more visas will be issued for some - but people just turning up at the border will be barred.
So what's causing this mass exodus?
And can conditions change for the Cuban people?
