A classically trained ballerina waits for an overseas dance tour. Another one helps her mother’s penniless dance company. A boxer wins 120 fights and world respect as a champion. Another one lives with his mother and is 3-1, waiting to collect enough money to fight again. Which ballerina and which boxer live in Cuba? Which two live in Miami? The revelations are surprising in this vivid, offbeat documentary that showsCuba’s youth to be its greatest resource and sometimes, its greatest export.
Charles T. Johnstone, the film’s Executive Producer, will give a brief introduction.

In 1996, Ry Cooder gathered together some of the greatest names from the history of Cuban music from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s to collaborate on the bestselling and Grammy Award-winning album, The Buena Vista Social Club. Inspired by these colorful characters and their extraordinary music, director Wim Wenders travels to Havana to chronicle the cooperation and camaraderie between Cooder and his veteran friends, known in Cuba as "Los Superablos” (the Super-Grandfathers), as well as their dazzling concerts in Amsterdam and New York's Carnegie Hall in April and July 1998.
