Tomás Gutiérrez Alea
1959 - Cuba - Noir & Blanc - 20'
The tragedy of peasant evictions in Cuba before the triumph of the Revolution. “With almost nothing organised, we decided to produce our first documentary Esta tierra nuestra with the goal of shedding light on certain questions about the necessity of agrarian reform, to reinforce the feeling that it could no longer be delayed. It was the first attempt to produce a serious documentary in Cuba. We had absolutely nothing, the camera was an old pile of junk. I don’t know how we got to the end with that thing. The only thing we had was the will to make it.” Tomás Gutiérrez Alea.
