This black-and-white film is a loving portrait of Santiago de Cuba and its people. It provides a view of Cuba as a picturesque country, the product of an earthy mix of black and criollo cultures. The film uses historical images which portray the end of the eighteenth century when Haitian slave owners fled with their slaves to Cuba after the Haitian Revolution.

Directed by Sara Gómez

Film is so powerful. This documentary is a celebration of life and love of a city and of its people. Joy is revolutionary, especially joy that connects people
