SURF CUBA

Inside the communist country of Cuba exists a small but passionate community of surfers who, due to a lack of economic opportunity and governmental support for the sport, number no more than 150. This film colorfully documents the Cuban surf community's struggles and how they overcome them in order to pursue their passion–Cubans don't think about the problem, they think about the solution.

THE KODAK EXPERIMENT

At the beginning of out adventure in Cuba, we handed out twenty disposable cameras to our Cuban friends.

We asked that they bring these cameras into their day-to-day experiences, capturing photos of their friends, families, work, hobbies and everything in-between.

This is Cuba through their eyes...
