Santiago das Américas ou o Olho do Terceiro Mundo
In a small island convulsed by the 1959 revolution, Santiago Álvarez used the Seventh Art as a political weapon and created an aesthetic that became a reference in the documentary field.

He took to spectators from all continents a counterpoint to the history narrated by the United States Information Service, USIS.
