No es el camino (This is not the way)

Cuba, 2008 and 2012, 36 min and 43 min, Dir. Eric Corvalán Pellé

Presented and co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Coalition to Normalize Relations with Cuba

Filmmaker Eric Corvalán joins UWM’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies to host a conversation after a screening of his two films, Raza and No es el camino. Corvalán’s work, Raza, takes up racism in Cuba and is at the forefront and debate in this documentary that continues to be compelling and pertinent for discussion. This bold documentary encourages the breaking of silence amongst many Cubans when it comes to race relations.

No es el camino is a close look at how children are raised in Cuba with particular attention to physical and mental abuses within families. Testimonials and interviews from communities and experts provide context and information about the acts of violence.

Screenings and conversations will conclude by 6:45PM.
