Nobody Listened

Directed by Néstor Almendros, Jorge Ulla
1987
117 mins

A passionate documentary by Jorge Ulla and the late Nestor Almendros about the “Cuban Revolution’s” early failure, when “nobody listened."

Through the voices of intellectuals, politicians, workers, and former political prisoners, the film offers a powerful account of decades of persecution, imprisonment, and systematic human rights violations, affecting multiple sectors of Cuban society, including former participants in the revolutionary process as well as its opponents. 

Upon its international release, the French newspaper Le Monde wrote: “Nadie Escuchaba is the story of an overlong silence, the end of a 30-year myth of Castroism”. 

The documentary stands as a historically significant work of enduring relevance and a universal reflection on the consequences of totalitarianism, conceived as a legacy for future generations. 

This event will have subtitles in English.
