As time marches forward and those who were present and lived during a period of history pass away or forget, that very history is invented and re-invented before it is retold to the youth who never lived through it. This story is the authentic horror of those who were subjected to a brutal psychobiological torture for their political dissent. The plot and development of the film is very well organized and the film remains captivating throughout the nearly 2 hours. This is a film that will leave you with much to reflect upon. I highly recommend.
Well made depicting the brutally of what happened in those prisons. I am privileged to know a Cuban political prisoner.
A great film! Incredible the stories from the brave men who stood up to tyranny. A must watch, full of emotions, highly recommend this story.
This is a very well produced movie with few resources. They do counted with a great cast and crew of people who delivered a stunning piece of art, where the history of the abuse and absence of human rights in Cuban prisons is portrayed exactly as it happened, according to the testimonies of political prisoners called "Plantados".
"Plantados" refused to be treated as regular prisoners given they were imprisoned for political reasons.
The brutality of the guards was inhuman according to the movie, and it was well documented along the almost 2 hours of the film.
This movie is a must see for people looking to learn a part of history well hidden until now.
