OMARA
A film by Hugo Pérez
(USA, 2021, 76 min. In Spanish and English with English subtitles)

For eight decades, Afro-Cuban music icon, Omara Portuondo, has been an unstoppable force - a single mother surviving racism, misogyny, revolution and now ageism. Transcending borders and the controversy for her affiliation/alignment/association with the Castro regime, Omara has used her music to connect with fans around the world and celebrate the soul of her beloved Cuba. As a woman of color, Omara expresses her life experiences in a way that has inspired generations of musicians and women.
