Summaries

Tearing the symbolism and power of the iconic figure away from the intractable reality of machismo in Latin culture, "Marti and I" gives us an important reinterpretation of Cuba's most famous political and literary icon in order to rescue the man behind it.—Kade Crockford, Miami and Ft.Lauderdale Lesbian and Gay Film Festival

'Martí and I' is a historical intervention project. It is the appropriation of a political icon in order to rescue the man behind it from virtual obscurity. It is intended as a work that renounces machismo and its strong hold on historical icons, Latin culture and on history itself.—Anonymous
