Following decades of cultural prohibitions, a group of Cubans rise and demand legitimacy for their beloved sport of surfing. In this inspiring story, they train to compete on the world stage with boards they built from scratch, reconcile with the country’s tumultuous history, and attempt to overcome borders that have been blocked their entire lives.

The Inertia “Featuring interesting, homemade wave-craft, triumph over a lack of understanding, an epic search for waves along the Cuban coast, and pure unbridled stoke, Havana Libre is a deeply moving story you won’t want to miss.”

Film Threat “It is a magnificent, beautifully shot film. The people we join on the journey are heroes to their communities. They make real change, and while it might not be on a grandiose scale, it’s still important to this group, and often the “little things” are always the most important.”

Daily Beast “It doesn’t matter if it’s old or new, the mark or the brand, when we have a surfboard in our hands, it is a treasure.”
