Epicentro (2020)

Brought to you by Hubert Sauper, the visionary behind Sundance victor WE COME AS FRIENDS and Oscar®-contender DARWIN'S NIGHTMARE, comes a striking visual and metaphorical journey, EPICENTRO. Delve into the heart of post-colonial Cuba, a place caught in the paradoxical grip of utopian ideals, where the echoes of the 1898 USS Maine explosion reverberate through time. This cataclysmic event extinguished Spanish colonial rule in the Americas, paving the way for the birth of the American Empire. It also brought to life a formidable weapon of domination: cinema as propaganda. In EPICENTRO, Sauper embarks on a voyage through a century of intervention and mythos creation, intertwining his narrative with the vibrant inhabitants of Havana, especially its young citizens, his so-called "young prophets". Through their eyes, he challenges the concepts of time, imperialism and the nature of cinema itself. This film offers an immersive exploration of history, ideology, and the power of storytelling, painting a profound portrait of a place caught between past and present, reality and illusion.

Epicentro is a documentary movie featuring Oona Chaplin and directed by Hubert Sauper.

Epicentro is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Cohen Media Amazon Channel.
