Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Distributed by Bullfrog Films, PO Box 149, Oley, PA 19547; 800-543-FROG (3764)Produced by Margaux OuimetDirected by Margaux Ouimet2024, Streaming, 52 mins Director Maldonado does an excellent job of presenting a review of Cuba’s political history, its struggles for independence from Spain, as well as Cuba’s discordant relationship with the United States, and the current political climate. The major focus of the film is the strong influence Cuba has had from poet and abolitionist, José Martí (1853-1895). Marti’s life, writing, principles, and thoughts are taught at schools and have been Cuba’s inspiration for freedom and equality for a couple of centuries. The film develops through interviews and critical commentaries by experts in the field, including historian, Dr. Lillian Guerra, Laritza Diversent, Human Rights Lawyer and Director of Cubalex Legal Aid, and award-winning Cuban political exiled cartoonist, Ramsés Morales Izquierdo. Dr. Guerra walks us through Marti’s essay Mi Raza (my race) as she discusses and analyzes the meaning of his writings. She points out one of Marti's statements, the intricacies of being Cuban, which are more than being white or black. She also talks about Marti’s presence in Florida. Laritza Diversent expresses her views on Cuba’s current repression, censorship, human rights violations, limitations on freedom of speech, and tensions with Cuban activists. As Ramsés illustrates, the high wire tensions of life in Cuba. The film shows the last stage performance of protest singer Pete Seeger and his grandson Tao in Montreal singing the well-known song Guantanamera, a song based on Marti’s poems. This was the last Seeger’s filmed interviews during his lifetime. Walking the Cuban Tightrope is a very well-documented film with superb sequences and archival footage and is an excellent candidate for any Latin American Studies, Human Rights, or Political Science courses.
