Los Hermanos/The Brothers

I found this to be a very interesting story of two brothers and their family, all devoted to music and how their lives have been shaped by the relations of the USA and Cuba as well as the differences between the two countries.

I thought the documentary didn't really take a side on the politics other than what the people whose story it tells say and didn't really spend that much time on the subject in general. To me personally it seems likely that after more than half a decade the harsh sanctions have done what they can and while pressure should still be applied on the Cuban government, in their present form they are counterproductive.

When it comes to things that could have been better I think the differences of living in either country and why people chose to live where they do could have been explored more in depth. One aspect of this documentary I enjoyed in particular was how well it used the music throughout the experience.
