Dyson College he students and faculty of the media, communications, and visual arts travel documentary course have travelled far and wide bringing back stories about the environment, and people and places that we might not learn about otherwise. They have captured important and powerful stories — but none perhaps as long in the making as this year's documentary Cuba's Crossroads – Hope, Rock and [R]Evolution. The sixth in a series of films about environmental sustainability, Cuba's Crossroads is distinct because it was filmed in Cuba, a place where few Americans had been allowed to visit since diplomatic relations between the United States and island nation ended in 1961. From unspoiled beaches to an organic farm supplying the mint for mojitos, to historic streets and self-sufficient neighborhoods, our students recorded a momentous time when two nations began to let go of cold war vestiges and chart a new way forward. The documentary had its world premiere on May 10, 2016 at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY. It can be viewed at www.pace.edu/dyson/cuba.
