The Long Cuban Night

The Long Cuban Night is a fascinating documentary that meticulously immerses audiences in the San Isidro Movement, an epic chapter of opposition that preceded, two years earlier, the glorious July 11, 2021, rebellion in Cuba. Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, Denis Solís, Maykel Osorbo, and other artists and activists bravely face the savage repression of police and paramilitary groups, documented from every possible angle using cell phones. The enduring presence of humble youth, deprived of human rights, is particularly emblematic. This portrait of a future Cuba continues to bring the island closer to freedom.
