A Note About the DVD:
Please note that the DVD has not been re-mastered. The U.S. imposed embargo against Cuba has drastically restricted the exchange between and the resources available to Cuba. You will therefore notice several pauses in the film. Every pause you notice, please let it serve as a reminder of the work to be done to end the unjust embargo against Cuba!
