The War on Cuba Documentary Tells the Story of the U.S. Embargo
[Many thanks to Veerle Poupeye for bringing this item to our attention via Critical.Caribbean.Art.] Julia Thomas (
NACLA) The Belly of the Beast collective explains how they are creating responsible media about Cuba and depicting the impacts of U.S. policy.
“The War on Cuba” documentary opens along Havana’s iconic Malecón, a long stretch of road winding along the coastline of the Cuban capital. A yellow almendrón, the affectionate term for old cars in Cuba, carries the film’s narrator, Liz Oliva Fernández, down the coast. She is perched on the back seat, wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat, and ironically carrying a selfie stick. Fernández’s dialogue debunks the romanticized vision of an idyllic, old Havana that the media often perpetuates.
police brutality, they should probably protest the officers on the field that are protecting them, instead of the american flag. of course they ve said it s much bigger than that, about race in american society. sanders later collar 2350ied that she didn t mean people should protest the police, but protesting the flag over police brutality is hypocritical in in her view. julia thomas, thanks for talking to me. i know that before yesterday you always stood for the national anthem. this has been a controversy now since last year, i know you had chosen to stand. yesterday that changed. you re number 89. there you are kneeling during the national anthem, along with several of your teammates, what made you decide to kneel yesterday? you know, i think the thing for me was, i was never compelled to kneel before, before i always felt i had a different role.
