00:00 We are here in Pinar del Río, as you can see, we are projecting the movie "Plantadas" by director Lilo Villaplana.
00:10 We are here with several people from civil society, Julio Cesar Gómbora, Eduardo Díaz-Fleita and other people,
00:20 Yamika Bascal, political prisoner, who speaks to him, a collaborator of ADN Cuba.
00:25 As we can see, we are making this projection so that people can see the reality that these brave women went through,
00:33 who are worthy of admiration for the new generation and worthy for Cuban women to continue in the fight against the communist dictatorship.
00:44 We are waiting here, this is a report that we are doing exclusively for ADN Cuba and for other people who want to know.
00:52 We are here in the province of Pinar del Río, projecting the movie "Plantadas".
00:58 We are also very happy with the awards that have been awarded in Canada, in the film festivals,
01:04 and now in the film festival in Colombia and other places.
01:08 We are very proud that our province has been chosen to project this magnificent work of art by director Lilo Villaplana.
01:18 We send a greeting to this historical political exile of women.
01:24 And we also pay tribute to the women who are today in political prison here in Cuba,
01:33 to the political prisoners who have died and also to the political prisoners of the present in our country.
01:41 We report for ADN Cuba, José Rolando Cáceres Soto.
01:45 [Music]
01:49 Who is dying?
01:51 I have forgotten my children.
01:55 I have not forgotten them.
01:57 I have not forgotten them.
01:59 [Applause]
02:01 It is true that ...
02:03 [Applause]
02:07 Well, we just saw the movie "Plantadas" and for us it is proud to know with this movie
02:16 the reality of what happened in the prison "Plantadas".
02:19 But not so much, but it is that it completely brought together the reality of the Cuban prison.
02:27 And also the courage that women have in this struggle, which is what has led us and pushes us,
02:34 men, to be better and to be able to put our work in the arena for the freedom of Cuba.
02:41 And for the women who are in prison right now, this is a tribute to them,
02:51 to those who have died for the cause and for the freedom of Cuba.
02:56 And those who are in prison.
02:58 And those who are in prison right now.
03:05 And also those who are in exile, who gave their lives, who were all of them, who fought for freedom.
03:11 It will not be in vain.
03:13 In every woman there is a "Plantada".
03:19 Well, Julio Cesar Congra was here, Eduardo Díaz Freitas, from the 1975 case.
03:26 We all know the health situation he has.
03:29 Everyone knows that his limitation is invaluable.
03:32 And he had to leave because he had strong pains, but he had to come with us
03:37 to discuss this historical work of art that Julio is showing.
03:45 This material constitutes a facet of reality
03:53 and of what women have really known to suffer in prison for this Cuban dictatorship.
04:04 There was a moment when it moved me, it took me quite personally,
04:10 when they are giving the "tochó" to one of these heroines.
04:17 I, my name is Omar Sáenz Campo, I have also gone through that same situation.
04:22 There was a moment when it struck me a lot, because I still remember when they told me,
04:29 the officers of the State Security, that they were going to give me so many "tochó" in my head,
04:35 until I could forget even my own name,
04:40 as long as I completely left the path of political opposition against the current imperial regime.
04:47 But as the same women have shown, men have also shown,
04:53 that it is for our own good.
04:57 Let's continue to work.
04:59 Let's give a round of applause to this film.
05:01 Thank you very much.
05:03 Father and life.
05:07 The film was made in the United States of America.
