Synopsis

In this film, Sara Gómez documents the everyday life of the Isla de Pinos, capturing discussions about the problems of construction, the school, and the leisure activities of the youth in 1968. She contextualizes these images with Frantz Fanon's thoughts on the construction of a nation through decolonization.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
