Excellent Cuban Documentary to watch with a cigar: Unfinished Spaces

[El Presidente]

The Cuban Revolution ended in the year 1959, leaving Fidel Castro as the country’s prime minister and Cuba itself poised for a time of questioning the old ways, and opening up new avenues of living. 

In the spirit of change and innovation, Castro commissioned three architects — Ricardo Porro, Roberto Gottardi, and Vittorio Garatti — to build an art school on the location of an old golf course. 

Alysa Nahmias and Benjamin Murray’s 2011 documentary, Unfinished Spaces, tells the story of that art school: its triumphs, its failures, and the ways in which it represents the triumphs and failures of Castro’s regime.

If you like the trailer then it is worthwhile tracking down the full movie. I could only find it on You Tube Movies and TV to rent for $3.99 HD ir buy for 12.99. Both links below
