Around fifty years ago I saw “I am Cuba”, a documentary made by a
Russian director. Nothing I ever saw since then came close to it except
a new film titled “Epicentro” that is now available as Virtual Cinema
throughKino Marquee
<https://kinomarquee.com/film/venue/5f3e978e8b74f80001f9edd4>starting today.
Directed by Hubert Sauper, it allows the Cuban people to speak for
themselves and boy do they do. The stars of the film are various 10 to
14 year old Afro-Cuban girls who hold forth on the bombing of the
battleship Maine, Teddy Roosevelt, imperialism and why they have
self-esteem despite being poor. When I used to visit Nicaragua in the
late 80s, I was struck by the things I heard from teens who had a better
grasp of American politics than 90 percent of the idiots that live in
this country.
