Teresita’s Dream follows the extraordinary story of Dr. Teresita Rodríguez, a trailblazing Cuban scientist who sets out to develop an Alzheimer’s treatment inspired by her mother’s diagnosis, joined by a team of all-women scientists. What begins as an effort to save her mother, leads to a discovery that could change how the world treats this devastating disease. Teresita’s journey unfolds in Havana’s world-class biotech sector amid the challenges of the U.S. embargo—a powerful story of science, care, hope, and resistance.
Teresita’s Dream is not just a film. It is a call to reimagine global health — and to stand in solidarity with those pushing for solutions against the devastating consequences of the U.S. embargo on Cuba — while humanizing the real-world consequences of U.S. imperialist policy and flipping the script on Cuban innovation.
