Frenemies: Cuba and the US Embargo (2020)

2:30 PM

Part of the 2023 Latin American Studies Film Festival: Global Peace and Interculturality

Set to the pulsating beats of Afro-Caribbean music, FRENEMIES examines the fraught relationship between the island nation of Cuba and the United States. Blending 1950s archival footage with contemporary shots of Cuba's economic decay and vibrant culture, the film paints a vivid portrait of a nation fighting for survival against the world's longest-running embargo.

Followed by a virtual Q&A session with Natalia Fajardo (co-director of the Solidarity Collective, the Cuba Program)
