The musicians of the Buena Vista Social Club exposed the world to Cuba's vibrant culture with their landmark 1997 album. Now, against the backdrop of Cuba’s captivating musical history, hear the band’s story as they reflect on their remarkable careers and the extraordinary circumstances that brought them together.
Note: Lucy was not a producer on this film and the producers ran into some chain of title issues and pulled the movie, unbeknownst to Lucy, out of its Sundance slot on the eve of its premiere. There were no creative differences, but the movie was recut for legal reasons and given a minimal release without publicity, festivals, or awards consideration. Nonetheless the version released was a New York Times and LA Times Critic’s Pick and is still worth watching, even in its “legal” cut. The film as made by the filmmakers was finished before Sundance. However it has not screened in public to this day. Those who saw it said that it was perhaps the finest film not just about the band but about the 100 years of Cuban history that their lifetimes encompassed.
