I AM CUBA Screening

A cinematic adventure into the changes of a nation as it struggles to break free of dictatorship, achieved through a love affair with Cuban landscapes, townscapes, its people and with cinema itself.

Four vignettes on the lives of the Cuban people in the pre-revolutionary era. In Havana, Maria is ashamed when a man she loves discovers how she makes a living. Pedro, an old farmer, discovers that the land he cultivates is being sold to an American company. A student sees his friends attacked by the police while they distribute leaflets supporting Fidel Castro. Finally, a peasant family is threatened by Batista’s army.
