Before the film, a panel of speakers will discuss the impact of the U.S. economic and trade embargo on Cuba and its effects on the daily lives of the Cuban people and a brief Q&A session will follow the discussion. Attendees who donate over-the-counter medicine or contribute $20 or more will receive a solidarity goodie bag as a thank-you for their support.
Movie synopsis:
A Soviet masterpiece as beautiful as it is haunting, I Am Cuba is a 1964 film by Mikhail Kalatozov taking audiences through a series of vignettes showing life in pre-revolution Cuba. Whether focusing on a working woman in Havana, or a farmer uprooted by Americans, to scenes of students spreading word of Fidel Castro and the reverberations of Batista’s armies, I Am Cuba remains entrancing emotionally and visually through all of its runtime thanks to its stunning camerawork and perennial spirit of struggle and resistance.
