Cuban Cinema film festival-Little Havana, Miami

[cubanmiamiboy]

I just came back from "El Telon de Azucar"-(The Sugar Curtain)-a reflection of the Cuban revolution through the eyes of the generation-(my generation)- born and raised during those years. This was truly an intimate portrait of those early years when, as children, everything seemed right and possible to us, and then how those ideals were later completely shattered.

"Cuba made headlines in Miami this week with President Barack Obama's announcement that exiles can now travel to the island with fewer restrictions.

Just in time, the two-week long Cuban Cinema Series -- La Isla en Peso, or Island Burden -- kicks off Friday at Little Havana's historic Tower Theater, offering more than 30 films, many starkly depicting current life on the island".
