Deprived of even the most basic goods, they scavenge the alleys and scrap heaps, giving new vitality to the discarded. Their recycled products are often remarkably ingenious and creative. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>For Andrs the sculptor, Tomas the canary breeder, and the other subjects of the film, even the greatest pressure – whether levied by government or circumstance – cannot crush the spirit nor quash the desire to forge a better life for themselves and their families. Shot entirely in Cuba, <i>Sin Embargo</i> is a look into the hearts and dreams of struggling peoples and a tribute to their optimistic and resourceful determination to survive.</div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/orner-eva-c496all.aspx">Orner, Eva</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
