Cuba VA
Description
Arizona International Film Festival program film description: This electrifying video-to-film transfer allows young Cubans to voice their opinions about the future of Cuba after Castro. What we discover on extraordinarily articulate generation of young men and women who believe that personal behavior has social consequences and that alienation is an act of social rebellion. What these people say (or sing, or rap) suggests that everyone born after the revolution has an opinion, and that these opinions are extremely diverse. One hope that the interviewees share is that they will be left alone after Castro's departure, free to sort out Cuba's future. Yet the immediacy of American culture is manifest in their music, dress, and gestures--watching them speak, we are uncomfortably reminded that their hope will never be realized.
