Independent Lens: Revolucion: Five Visions - an early look

by Adam Finley, posted Dec 18th 2006 4:01PM

CastroRevolucion: Five Visions is the latest documentary to be showcased on PBS' Independent Lens and is the second in a month-long tribute to artists and writers. The film takes a look at the Cuban revolution through the eyes of five different photographers, one of which, Raúl Corrales, was hired by Castro as his official photographer to record the unfolding revolution.

The other photographers profiled in the documentary all have varying opinions about Cuba's revolution and what it means, and their photographs represent not only their own personal philosophies, but also offer a new angle on an old debate that still divides the citizens of Cuba. The documentary is worthwhile as a history lesson, but it's really about artists trying to express what is happening around them when words alone won't do.

Revolucion: Five Visions airs tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 10 pm on PBS.

Mild flirtation between the TDS boys makes me happy (there really hasn't been enough of it since Stephen Colbert left).
