¡Quba!

20250.0 / 1070 min

Overview

Equality is a human right.

Against the backdrop of Havana's sun-drenched streets and shimmering coastline, "¡Quba!" blazes a trail through Cuba's LGBTQ revolution. At its heart stands Adela Hernandez, a trailblazing trans politician who rose from the dark days of UMAP imprisonment to become the first transgender person in Cuba's government. Alongside her, the charismatic Ramon Silverio transforms his cultural haven El Mejunje into ground zero for change, taking his rainbow-colored caravan of artists and performers deep into the countryside to challenge prejudice through the universal language of art. As archival footage reveals how machismo and religious bigotry cast a long shadow over the queer community but then a new generation of firebrands - Las Isabellas and Ulises Suarez - picks up the torch, and charges toward the historic 2022 marriage equality victory that would finally let love win in revolutionary Cuba.
