An exclusive screening of British director Kim Hopkins’ Voices of the Sea, a moving documentary revealing stark realities for the poorest of rural Cubans. With unique access and empathy, the film tells the story of a 30-something mother of four longing for a better life. The tension between wife and aging husband—one desperate to leave, the other content to stay—builds into a high stakes family drama after her brother and the couple’s neighbors escape.
In Spanish, with English subtitles.
