Just finished watching Cuban Roots/Bronx Stories. It tells the historical journey of a Black Cuban-American family, from Jamaica, to Cuba, to the Bronx. I really enjoyed this documentary.

I watched this on Kanopy. If you don& #39;t already know, Kanopy is a streaming site you can access through some public libraries and universities. The movie is also available for rent on Vimeo for 4.99. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/cubanrootsbronxstories">https://vimeo.com/ondemand/...

Tonight I watched Maestra on Kanopy. It& #39;s an insightful doc on the experiences of women who were teachers in Cuba& #39;s literacy campaign as young girls. Also available on Vimeo. I first learned about the campaign when I read Education & Capitalism (one of my favorite books).

I& #39;m watching ¿Dónde está Sara Gómez?, a documentary about Sara Gomez. It& #39;s in Spanish with English subtitles. You can watch it here:

Havana, from on High: Secret Rooftops of the Cuban Capital is the most recent doc I& #39;ve watched on Cuba. I appreciated hearing people& #39;s thoughts on the struggles they face, communism, capitalism, the Revolution & tourism. https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/witness/2020/07/havana-high-secret-rooftops-cuban-capital-200722172535870.html">https://www.aljazeera.com/programme...

Last night I watched the short documentary Kongos from Martinique. I really want to learn more about the French West Indies. https://www.cultureunplugged.com/documentary/watch-online/play/5484/Kongos-from-Martinique">https://www.cultureunplugged.com/documenta...

Kongos from Martinique

For 400 years, millions of people were deported from Africa to work as slaves for the American and European economies. Many of them were from K

I watched Cuba: An African Odyssey & learned a lot about Cuba& #39;s solidarity w/ African resistance movements. Most of the doc was on DRC & Angola. There was also info on Gabon, Namibia & South Africa.
The doc would& #39;ve been better if feds were excluded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNzgo8fgltc&t=176s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I watched Jamaica and Tamarindo: Afro Tradition in the Heart of Mexico - so beautiful! Ebony Bailey is such a great filmmaker! I was introduced to her work through Life Between Borders: Black Migrants in Mexico. Can& #39;t wait to connect w/ Black people in MX. https://vimeo.com/ebonymarieb ">https://vimeo.com/ebonymari...

This is a great documentary on Black Colombians and their relationship with plants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm84cuHcyDo&list=PLGmn65uxoS6EITWGqf0aSFjasu9gj0_Oz&index=12">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
