Herencia
Ana Hurtado / Cuba, Runtime: 60 mins
Havana is still alive. Its people are in the streets, in the squares, in the churches, in the parks, in the dance halls, in the schools. It continues to transmit a heritage made of old laughs, of African rhythms, of colourful images. The ocean was crossed hundreds of years ago and Herencia shows what this meant.
