Good Brazilian documentary filmed in Cuba (together with great footage by Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry - ICAIC) and spoken in Spanish and Portuguese. It is about the weekly Latin American Newsreel produced by ICAIC and some documentaries ditected by its legendary filmmaker Santiago Álvarez. Besides segments of the films which cover some of the most important political events of the 60's and 70's (specifically about cold war conflicts, decolonial struggle and revolutions), the are fantastic stories told by interviewed former crew of ICAIC. Important both for thinking about politicla history and for knowing the history of cinema.
