Popis - SONS OF CUBA (2XDVD):
Hailed by critics, Andrew Lang's powerful and moving documentary 'Sons Of Cuba' is a stunning insight behind the scenes of Castro's Cuba into the lives of a group of young boys; amateur boxers training to become champions of their sport and heroes of their country. 'Sons Of Cuba' follows the stories of three young hopefuls through eight months of training as they prepare for the biggest event of their lives: Cuba's national boxing championship for under 12s. But during the season, crisis strikes. Fidel Castro falls ill, and all of Cuba's Olympic boxing champions defect to the USA, leaving the boys contemplating a future that is altogether different from the one they have been taught to believe in. Laced with emotion, 'Sons Of Cuba' is at once intimate, personal and political. It goes deep into the heart and mind of modern Cuba, while documenting, from the inside, a country at a moment of historic change.
