    • Synopsis
    • In 1971, poet Heberto Padilla is jailed by the revolutionary government in Cuba. A public self-blame show is staged, where he declares himself a counterrevolutionary agent and fingers many friends, even his wife, as such. For the first time, the film of Padilla’s self-criticism is available to the public. A startling documentary that opens a window into the past and offers insights into Cuba’s current crisis.
