De Cierta Manera - One Way or Another (April 2): A 1974 Cuban film that depicts life in poor neighborhoods in Cuba shortly after the revolution. Mixing documentary footage with a fictionalized story of a Cuban couple, De Cierta Manera shows both the gains of the revolution and the difficulties that still exist. Sexism, racism, and chauvinism are shown to still exist after the revolution and their destruction is portrayed as one of the most important tasks for Cuba.
In the Wrong Body (April 9): This documentary tells the story of Mavi Susel, the first person in Cuba to undergo gender reassignment surgery. In addition to following her, the film also examines the interrelation of progressive ideals of the revolution, the remains of traditional patriarchal culture in Cuba, and Cuba\\'s struggle to eradicate it.
