The new documentary, “Havana Libre” is a great reminder of the power of social media and also how wonderful democracy is.
The film follows the underground lovers of something you wouldn't think would be outlawed in Cuba - surfing. Yes, you read that right.
Due to the government fearing defection by surfboard, surfing was deemed a no-no. Of course, some of the locals made their own surfboards and ran the risk of harsh penalties if they were caught riding the waves in Cuba.
The social media piece picks up as a video that was made by one of the surfers caught the eye of the surf community around the world. The video went viral and opportunities started coming their way such as traveling to Hawaii as guests.
The film is done in such a way that you are rooting for the surfers from Cuba. You hope to see the laws change so they can freely pursue their love of surfing - both personally and professionally.
“Havana Libre” is a powerful reminder not to take your freedom for granted but also to follow your dreams.
Recommended.
