About:
Cuba since the Revolution, captured by an American filmmaker over four decades.
The film screened as part of DOC NYC, for which our program notes read:
With a career spanning several decades, Jon Alpert now delivers a film that draws upon footage he shot in Cuba for over 40 years. Starting in the 1970s, Alpert’s pioneering work as an independent video journalist won the attention of Fidel Castro, who granted him unique access. Alpert makes repeated visits to the country chronicling its changes, from Havana to the countryside, in this illuminating profile.
