Cuba Libre: El Mayor Deseo

The latest documentary by RICHTER SCALE MEDIA L.L.C.*, CUBA LIBRE: EL MAYOR DESEO, chronicles the struggle of a nation and its people as Cuba strives for freedom in the face of adversity, oppression, and poverty.

Nearly five decades after the revolution, Cuba remains frozen in time. As foreign tourists enjoy the island’s beaches, music, tobacco, and rum, another Cuba—the real Cuba—lives outside the resorts and the nightclubs.

It is in the real Cuba that the Varela Project was born. Conceived by Oswaldo José Payá Sardiñas, the Varela Project is a petition signed by tens of thousands of Cubans who demand reforms that will transform Cuba into a nation of the future.

CUBA LIBRE: EL MAYOR DESEO presents this real Cuba. Filmed throughout the island, the documentary crosses the tourist boundary through exclusive footage and never-before-seen interviews with Oswaldo José Payá Sardiñas and numerous native Cubans. The film explores Cuba’s history from the Revolution to the present-day and paints a portrait of an island in flux.

PLEASE JOIN THE CUBAN PEOPLE IN THEIR STRUGGLE FOR A BETTER FUTURE!

For more information about Oswaldo Payá and the Christian Liberation Movement which spearhead the Varela Project and National Dialogue, please visit www.oswaldopaya.org and www.nationaldialoguecuba.org.
