Join us for a film and discussion
April 4, 5pm
Portland Friends Meetinghouse
1837 Forest Ave Portland, Maine
This film explores the experiences of nine women who, as young girls, helped eradicate Cuban illiteracy within one year. Interweaving recent interviews, archival footage, and campaign photos, this lively
documentary includes one of the first
Cubans of her generation to call herself a feminist and one of the first openly proud members of Cuba’s
LGBT community. With wit and spirit, all recall negotiating for autonomy and independence in a culture still bound by patriarchal structures.
Learn about
• the brand-new US oil blockade that endangers lives and living in Cuba.
• Cuba’s pioneering effort at extending high-quality healthcare to all Cuban people and to people throughout the world.
