a film that's been crying out to be made
I caught the last part of this documentary on one of the Bay Area PBS stations--KCSM--and couldn't believe my eyes. Unlike nearly everything one sees about Cuba, this film opens the door to a clear view of something that has been, for the most part, distorted and simplistically portrayed. The depiction we have of the revolution comes mainly from the winners--the Castro party--and also from people who identify as the losers--who cannot get out from under that feeling. By contrast, this wonderful narrative wipes the slate clean. Along the way, and just in passing, it nicely rebuts the perspectives of the Obama administration, which has crawled snugly into bed with the Castro version of things. But that's politics, and the important interest here is history. The Dutch philosopher Huizinga said that nothing can substitute for the pure taste of history. This film takes us back to the source and delivers the pure taste. It's sincere, it's stylish, it's unfettered, and it's true.
