Synopsis:
"Oscar’s Cuba," shot undercover in Cuba and presented in Spanish and English, tells the story of Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet, a prisoner of conscience who, until March 2011, was serving a 25-year prison sentence for the crime of "disrespecting the revolution" through his promotion of human rights, respect for life, and democracy in Cuba. Through archival footage, interviews with those close to Dr. Biscet, interviews with past Cuban political prisoners, and current Cuban dissidents, as well as footage of groups and individuals who are working to free Dr. Biscet, "Oscar’s Cuba" reveals the truth about the Cuban government’s unjust detention of Dr. Biscet and thousands of other human rights supporters. "Oscar’s Cuba" first looks back at the Cuban people’s 50-year fight for freedom, then highlights the work and vision of Dr. Biscet. More than a newsreel piece, "Oscar’s Cuba" takes a personal look, from Havana across the island to Santiago, at those who have sacrificed everything for the betterment of their nation. While the documentary tells the truth about today’s Cuba, it also provides a hopeful look, through the eyes of its greatest present-day representative and visionary, at the potential future of a free Cuba. The "Oscar's Cuba" original score was recorded by 4-time Grammy award winning Jazz legend Arturo Sandoval.
