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.
