In the film, 46 women, based on their economic rights within Cuba, demand and propose changes and transformations to address key issues related to their autonomy in the current context, reports the newspaper Juventud Rebelde.

At a recent press conference, Palomas’ director, the renowned filmmaker Lizette Vila, explained that the film is a contribution to the National Program for the Advancement of Women, a presidential initiative launched in 2021, and “we always reaffirm its validity and relevance in every forum.”

The film came true through a partnership between the Palomas Project, CARE International, the Canadian Embassy in Cuba, and the Cuban Film Institute (ICAIC).

The ICAIC President Alexis Triana highlighted the contribution of the Palomas Project and this work, which narrates stories and perspectives of Cuban society.

Valerio Granello, representative of the NGO CARE International, explained that the documentary expresses the daily reality of these 46 women and, with transparent language, conveys the reality of their lives, their strength to improve them, and their purpose.

According to Juventud Rebelde, in addition to women’s stories, the film constitutes an academic, economic, and social analysis of Cuban reality, achieving a poetic dissection of current times
