SUMMARY:AfroMundo Social Justice Series: Maestra
DESCRIPTION:Join AfroMundo at NHCC’s Wells Fargo Theater for a FREE screening of MAESTRA, a 33-minute film about the incredible Cuban Literacy Campaign, narrated by Alice Walker. 7:00 pm Film Screening, Panel Discussion to immediately follow.\n“In 1961, over 250,000 Cubans joined their country’s National Literacy Campaign and taught more than 707,000 other Cubans to read and write. Almost half of these volunteer teachers were under eighteen years old, and more than half were women. Narrated by Pulitzer Prize winning author Alice Walker, MAESTRA (Spanish for teacher) explores the experiences of nine of the women who, as young girls, helped eradicate Cuban illiteracy within one year. Interweaving interviews, archival footage, and campaign photos, this lively documentary includes one of the first Cubans of her generation to call herself a feminist and one of the first openly proud members of Cuba’s LGBTQI community. With wit and spirit, all recall negotiating for autonomy and independence in a culture still bound by patriarchal structures. MAESTRA highlights the will and courage that made the monumental endeavor possible and the pivotal role of women’s and youth empowerment in building a new society.”\nView the trailer HERE.
