Poetic polemic on the parasitic nature of White culture in its desire to expropriate the land, resources and people of other countries and to live, thereby, as tourists in a world they think they own but can never understand. This film clearly asserts that the country is both the land and its people - not just the land - and, thus, any claim to the contrary is a sign of moral degeneracy.

The White-created poverty displayed here was inevitably going to lead to revolution, so this movie is also a celebration of Cuban Communism and the material benefits it produces for the poor. ranks alongside The Battle of Algiers for political and aesthetic brilliance.
