CUBA: Living Between Hurricanes

A live streamed event in association with North and South London Cuba Solidarity Campaign.

On the day that has gone down in history as marking the start of the Cuban Revolution, join us for for the documentary film 'CUBA: Living Between Hurricanes' followed by a Q&A with the film's makers.

A film about the elements – hurricanes and rain, the sea and the earth. About a fishing port on the north coast of Cuba which has seen better days: Caibarién, where Hurricane Irma – one of the most powerful ever to sweep the Caribbean – made landfall on 17th September 2017.

About the effects of climate across the centuries in a Caribbean island sucked into global markets for its commodity crops – tobacco, coffee and above all, sugar. How sugar changed the landscape, through deforestation and soil exhaustion.

About the growing threat from climate change, and the move towards reforestation, ecotourism and sustainable farming.
