Abstract

Preliminary Theme: You could feel the frost as soon as I posed the question. The week before I went to see Philip Glass's opera Satyagraha, which is subtitled M.K. Gandhi in South Africa, I attended a screening of a documentary entitled Fidel, subtitled The Untold Story. It was sponsored by the Havana Film Festival, something of a New York cultural transgression of the U.S. embargo of Cuba. The embargo is foolish, but while Americans really do need to think afresh about how we relate to those south of us, indeed to all poor countries, it is hard to imagine that this film by Estela Bravo, which won awards when it came out in 2001, could foster anything of the sort.
