 In Everyone’s Eyes

Most Cubans learn to hide their despair, fear and paranoia about the State with a facade of acceptance and even outward happiness – it’s safer. In the same way, a smiling singing narrator and his happy melody create the thin facade for a compelling message about free speech in today’s revolutionary Cuba. Metal bars are a recurring motif, at homes and at the derelict Modelo prison on the isolated Isla de la Juventude. Cubans often describe their country as an ‘open prison’. Filmed entirely in Cuba/Filmada enteramente en Cuba. |
