'Coffea arábiga' was sponsored as a propaganda documentary to show how to sow coffee around Havana. In fact, Guillén Landrián made a film critical of Castro, exhibited but banned as soon as the coffee plan collapsed.

This screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival, made possible with support of ArtesMiami.
