Cuba: The Value of Utopia


Text: About This Film

Eyewitness accounts, including Castro himself, look back on the period of resistance and the toppling of Batista’s dictatorship. The detailed story of the revolution unfolds through these individual accounts. Two parallel lines - the personal histories of the main narrators and the story of the revolution in which they took part. It raises the questions: What is the price of living a life defined by an ideal? What does humanity lose when we no longer dream of Utopia?

Special appearance by Fidel Castro. It is beautifully filmed showing modern day Cuba and fascinating archive footage.
