Cuba in the Age of Obama

A long and unprecedented journey from Havana to Guantanamo, at a time in which people were expecting a change in the politics of the United States and in the Revolution itself. A journey through the body of Cubai, with stops in Santa Clara, the city in which the legend of Che Guevara was born, or in Bayamo, the first proud capital of the island, or in Santiago, where the Revolution’s mystique was born. And then, the voices, the hopes, the frustrations and dreams of the young, of students from the Latin American School of Medicine, from the Arts School, from the Film School and from the renowned ballet school of the historical etoile Alicia Alonso. «In order to tell the story of a country that is surprising and anomalous you have to equip yourself with the tools to reveal it from the inside, taking into account a country’s stories, idiosyncrasies, conquests, mistakes and contradictions, but also the more banal realities such as the precariousness of many roads and therefore the difficulty of moving and of starting over».
