Black and Cuba. Dir. Robin J. Hayes|US/Cuba| 1hr21 |2014| Documentary

This award-winning documentary follows nine Black Ivy League students who feel like outcasts at their elite university. They band together and venture to the Caribbean island of Cuba, whose population is 60% black, to further explore their roots and identity. In revealing scenes of Cuban life, including hip-hop performances, block parties, and candid spontaneous encounters with Afro-Cuban youth, they discover connections between Cuban and American perspectives on human rights, race, and revolution. This screening will be followed by a discussion and Afro-Cuban snacks.
