Cuban Documentary @ Cinekatipunan on June 25

CINEKATIPUNAN
June 25, 5-6:30 PM

Mission Against Terror
48 mins | Documentary

Five Cuban men are in prison for being anti-terrorists
in the country that declared war against terror.

Cuba has every right to protect its country and people
from ultra-right groups in Miami that have killed
scores in their island right under the US government’s
nose. So were known terrorists at large in Miami
monitored by Cuban patriots, who also passed
information to US authorities. Could there have been a
mix up? Instead of the terrorists, the anti-terrorists
were abducted and locked up.

The Cuban Five (Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino,
Fernando González, René González and Antonio Guerrero)
were illegally held in US jails since 1998 and denied
family visits and bail after almost two years of being
in solitary confinement. Lawyer Leonard Weinglass
calls this case a political one, and a “violation”
from the start.

“Mission Against Terror” maps Cuba ’s 48-year struggle
against terrorism and the clamor for the freedom of
Cuban 5. Its use of historic footage and interviews
with experts and families of the accused make moving
portraits of the Cuban patriots and elusive justice in
the US .

Bernie Dwyer and Roberto Ruiz collaborated on this
critically acclaimed Irish-Cuban documentary that
debuted at Havana ’s 26th Festival of New Latin
American Cinema in December 2004.

Following the film, former political prisoner and
member of the FREE THE CUBAN FIVE Committee of Amistad
(Philippines- Cuba Friendship Association) Donato
Continente will present on the issue and inform on how
individuals can become involved. Cuban Ambassador H.E.
Jorge Rey Jimenez is also invited to give his remarks.
