Carlsbad Cinema Series: Cuba's Secret Side
1775 Dove Lane, Carlsbad, 92009
Cost: Free
Prior to renewed U.S.-Cuban relations, adventure filmmaker Karin Muller hitchhiked for three months around Cuba, living with fishermen and farmers, a Santeria priestess, and country doctors. She filmed undercover on a tourist visa and Swiss passport and was arrested over a dozen times. In the end she gets beyond the propaganda and rhetoric to capture the true soul of Cuba. The series features a pre-show introduction and post-show discussion led by the film's director, Karin Muller. Films made possible in part by the Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation’s Robert H. Gartner Cultural Endowment Fund.
