The Sugar Curtain
Thematic Migrations Curated by Lourdes Portillo
Camila Guzmán Urzúa offers a moving portrait of a generation of Cuban exiles who grew up during the golden years of the revolution and were raised on the heady promises of Cuban socialism: “You are the builders of the future!” The film collects the exiles’ shared memories of an idyllic childhood and the subsequent economic crisis and disillusionment brought on by the fall of the Soviet Union.
