CUBA: THE VALUE OF UTOPIA
Dir. Yanara Guayasamin / Cuba / Ecuador / 2006 / 119 min. / Documentary

Forty seven years after Fidel and his guerrillas rode through the streets of Havana on the back of a truck, the love and devotion ordinary Cubans still hold for their revolution and its leader endures. The rare opportunity to see the stoic beauty of Havana is matched by thoughtful commentary from a group of Cubans whose belief in the cause of social justice remains as vivid and impassioned as it was almost 50 years ago.
