Author: Mike Weston (mweston) from Silicon Valley, CA

When the U.S. embargo of Cuba began in 1961, 150,000 American cars were in the country. Cut off from a supply of parts and with insufficient money to replace these cars, the people of Cuba have been remarkably inventive in keeping these cars running. With humor and great music, this film tells the story of the owners, the mechanics, and of course the cars. It tied for the audience award for best documentary at Cinequest (the San Jose, CA film festival), and this was the world premiere screening (3/2/2002).

I hadn't originally intended to see this film, but on the opening night of the festival I was accosted by the director outside of a nearby bookstore.
