East of Havana movie

[El Gato]

I stumbled upon a movie titled "East of Havana" on the Sundance Channel.
It is available for free from the video on demand section of the cable company.

The movie is about the hip-hop movement in Cuba, but is really much more than that. I shows very well the struggle of the people in their everyday lives.
Also there are many scenes of the city and the surrounding area.

I think anyone interested in what Cuba looks like today will enjoy this movie.
Thankfully the hip-hop music is not too bad or distracting if that's not your thing. Most of the movie is subtitled, there is a sprinkling of "F-words" here and there if that is a concern. No cigars or touristy type things, just a realistic picture of Cuba today and a story of hope about the younger generation there.

Thanks, I'm going to look for that.

If you want to check out some good Cuban hiphop, here's a link to Orishas' best album.
