CUBA AFTER CASTRO

DIRECTED BY Abby Martin and Matt Belen, Cuba After Castro delivers the definitive portrait of Miguel Diaz-Canel, Cuba's first leader born after the 1959 Revolution that overthrew the Batista dictatorship.

The film chronicles Diaz-Canel’s rise as the unexpected successor to the Castros — an unassuming union organiser forged by the revolutionary process. In an unprecedented interview with Abby Martin, Diaz-Canel reflects on how Cuba is navigating a perfect storm of intensified U.S. sanctions, a media war, a devastating pandemic, and historic domestic protests.

Cuba After Castro provides a vision of revolutionary Cuba suppressed in the west: a nation of collective values and defiance in the face of constant threats from the United States.
