Whitewash, 9 September 2002
7/10
Author: William J. Fickling (wjfickling@earthlink.net) from Columbia, South Carolina, USA

This is a moderately interesting German-made documentary about contemporary Cuba. The camera actually gets inside the homes of ordinary Cubans and interviews some of them at length. There are extensive clips from soap operas that many Cubans watch. And the dire situation in which most Cubans find themselves was made clear. However, the film is tantamount to a whitewash of the oppressiveness of the Castro regime. (Castro's name, by the way, is not mentioned once.) The omnipresence of the police in public places, the fact that thousands of Castro opponents have been put in jail or in psychiatric hospitals, the fact that thousands of young women are forced to resort to prostitution to make ends meet--all of these issues are skirted. This film is worth seeing, but for another view I recommend seeing "Azucar Amarga" ("Bitter Sugar") to get a balanced picture.
