LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the documentary Cuban Food Stories on September 20, 2024.
DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
Cuban Food Stories centers on a road trip across Cuba to experience the rich variety of ingredients and flavors of the island's cuisine. In the absence of modern conveniences, the people living off the land are able to carry on the culinary traditions and celebrate the heritage that defines Cuban culture.
Directed by Asori Soto, the film was inspired by his longing to return to Cuba after living in the US for 10 years, and to reconnect with the food and flavors of his childhood. Cuban Food Stories treks across the island, revealing some of Cuba's stunningly beautiful beaches and lush mountainous landscapes. Viewers are introduced to a host of unforgettable characters—from a restaurateur in Havana to a fisherman using traditional techniques. Going in search of the island's culinary traditions, viewers are shown some of the most isolated and remote locations nearly forgotten by time and accessible only by raft, horseback or swimming. Through interviews with farmers, fishermen and innovative chefs creating a new take on the island's cuisine, the film reveals the resilience of the Cuban people and the evolving nature of their culture.
