Description: This event combines a film screening and panel discussion to highlight Cuba’s pivotal role in African liberation struggles across the diaspora, examine the ongoing impact of United States sanctions on Cuba, and underscore the urgent need for renewed international solidarity. Through a screening of the documentary short
Cuba in Africa and a moderated discussion, the event will connect the historical legacy of Cuba’s revolutionary internationalism with its present-day challenges in pursuing self-determination under prolonged economic pressure. Panelists will also highlight the Karibuni Local Development Project’s grassroots support for Cuban revolutionary elders as a model for solidarity in action.
