Bravo!

Most moving about this compelling documentary was following the Yale students' journey of discovery of Cuba's revolutionary history. It was amazing to watch this journey - to see the students' light bulbs go off on the similarities between the African American and Cuban experience, and the electricity this brings to their telling of their own story. This part alone was a joy to watch.This movie is a revelation; thought-provoking, colorful, celebratory, revealing, painful, vulnerable and ultimately, turning the mirror back on ourselves, to ask us what role we want to play as revolutionaries in the modern world. Smart, exciting, and an excellent learning tool.
