Join us in partnership with the Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center for a special screening of the new documentary from journalist Abby Martin and documentary filmmaker Matthew Belen Cuba After Castro.

The first and only American interview with Cuba’s little-known Miguel Díaz-Canel. The film chronicles Diaz-Canel’s formation as an unexpected successor to the Castros — an unassuming organizer molded by the revolutionary process. Confronting a perfect storm of intensified U.S. sanctions, a media war, a devastating pandemic, and historic domestic protests. Díaz-Canel reflects on navigating these existential crises for the nation he has come to lead.

While the U.S. government economically strangles and threatens war on Cuba, most people here know very little about the neighbor they’re told to hate. Moving beyond the stereotypes, this film investigates the actual social and political reality of modern Cuba through the biography of its new leader. This is essential viewing for anyone seeking to comprehend the real pressures shaping Cuba and the uncertain future of U.S.-Cuba relations.
