| Summary |
A hard-hitting Cuban rap group takes on the Cuban state, in this vivid documentary. Los Aldeanos appears out of nowhere and disappears just as quickly. Their protest lyrics are catching on like wildfire, resonating with discontented Cubans, but they get no airtime and their young fans face persecution from the police. Once in circulation, hundreds of copies are made and sold on the street, and the duo's music rises in popularity. Huge crowds turn up to their gigs, and police quickly shut them down with pepper spray and violence. Filmed at great risk to the crew, Viva Cuba Libre is a political statement, an act of rebellion, and an effort to show the troubling reality of modern-day Cuba |
