Join us on Thursday, November 18 at 7PM for a screening of Cuba in Africa, a documentary on the dramatic untold story of 420,000 Cubans– soldiers and teachers, doctors and nurses – who gave everything to end colonial rule and apartheid in Southern Africa.
Due to capacity limitations, we are asking that folks put in a $6 deposit per seat to reserve a spot. The screenings are free but we encourage you to contribute $6 as a donation to help us continue our programming.
Please note that all film screenings are in-person at The People’s Forum and we will be requiring proof of vaccination and one form of identification at the front desk.
ABOUT “CUBA IN AFRICA”
Abdurahman’s acclaimed, award-winning film Cuba in Africa was years in the making, overcoming many obstacles, to tell the truth (mostly untold in the US) of Cuba’s revolutionary internationalist mission from 1976-1991 that was decisive in winning the sovereignty of Angola, the independence of Namibia, and securing the unraveling and defeat of apartheid South Africa.
