Synopsis

Fifty years after the revolution, what is life like in Cuba? This assured, penetrating documentary goes beyond the clichés to paint a portrait of the island not often seen. From the single mother seeking to pay for her daughter’s “coming-out” birthday party to the elderly woman who once dreamed of being a ballerina, "Motherland or Death" succeeds at getting ordinary Cubans to candidly testify to their hopes, struggles and fears, presenting everyday life as they live it.
