These filmmakers had the opportunity to study their profession as a result of a program in Cuba called "Centro de Estudios para la Comunicacion Comunitaria." This team has returned to the mountain villages to share some of their experiences with young people and to seek out talent for the next generation of filmmakers in Cuba. This piece is in Spanish with no subtitles.
