Cuba: An African Odyssey, 2007, Egypt/Frace, 189 min
Admission: $5.00, Thurs, Aug. 7
Jihan El Tahri’s 2007 documentary CUBA: An African Odyssey tells the previously untold story of Cuba’s support for African revolutions. This documentary unravels the story of the so-called Cold War, through the prism of its least known arena: Africa. Against colonialism, capitalism, and communism, the newly independent nations attempted for the first time to gain real control of their own countries. From Che Guevara's military campaign to avenge Lumumba in the Congo, up to the fall of apartheid in South Africa, 300,000 Cubans fought alongside African revolutionaries.
