I just thought I would contribute to comments by Kenneth and Willie by adding that the events actually did happen. It really contributes to the historical credibility of the film, as it was taken from the archives of one of Cuba's most eminent historians who also worked with the director on the film to ensure that it was as historically accurate as possible. This film is in fact a great insight to so many relationships and movements during this period of Cuban slavery and is, despite what might seem believable today, taken from true events. The only difference is that I am pretty sure that all of the slaves were captured and killed in the end. So it really just underscores the positive reviews that have already been made by both Kenneth and William.
