In 1966, when the National Ballet of Cuba performed in Paris, ten of the troupe's dancers requested asylum from the government of France. Their reason: "If we go back to Cuba, we'll be sent to a concentration camp for homosexuals." Exactly what went on at the camp that these men feared so much? This documentary by Francois Truffaut's cameraman Nestor Almendros uncovers the truth about the Cuban camp through interviews with ex-internees now living in exile abroad, and examines the oppression of gays throughout history by such figures as Hitler, Mao, Stalin and McAarthur. Interviews with international luminaries such as Susan Sontag, Allan Ginsberg, and Cuban writer Reynaldo Arenas round out this compelling work, a must-see for anyone interested subject of Before Pight Falls lesbian and gay history or human rights in general.
