With the relationship between the U.S. and Cuba in flux, Mariela, a mother of four young children who lives in a tiny, remote Cuban fishing village, is afraid that her window to escape to the U.S. will soon close.
Screening followed by discussion with filmmaker Kim Hopkins
In this tiny, remote Cuban fishing village, Mariela, a mother of four young children, longs for a better life. The families in her village are utterly dependent on the day’s catch, which changes with the tide. The shops are empty, school is repeatedly shut down due to a lack of resources, and basic transportation is nonexistent. With the relationship between the U.S. and Cuba in flux, Mariela, like many Cubans, is afraid that her window to escape to the U.S. will soon close. Her husband, Pita, loves his community, cherishes his friendships, and is loyal to his craft as a fisherman.
