Forbidden Cuba

Forbidden Cuba follows the journey of Gil Bigelow, a corporate manager sent secretly to Cuba to lay the groundwork for a future business venture and investigate the disappearance of his predecessor. As he navigates the unfamiliar landscape, Gil sheds his old habits and loses himself in the beauty and authenticity of Cuban culture. Confronted with a new reality where his instructions and methods are ineffective, Gil is forced to reevaluate his identity and confront the contradictions of this enigmatic island. Shot guerrilla-style, without official permission or a backup plan, Forbidden Cuba captures powerful, sometimes humorous moments in the streets, stores, and homes of Cuba, offering a unique glimpse into a land of contrasts and emerging opportunities. Blending fiction and documentary techniques, the film reveals the island's magnetism and its people's resilience in the face of adversity.
