The last of three films made in Cuba since the revolution
Starring Adolfo Llaurado, Jose A. Rodriguez, Idalia Anreus

The peasants' machetes, normally used for harvesting sugar, proved a powerful weapon in Cuba's struggle against their Spanish oppressors in 1868. Awarded a major prize at the Venice Film Festival, Manuel Octavio Gomez's remarkable historical reconstruction which employs unusual camera techniques to achieve its realism did not receive a cinema release in Britain.
