[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

Director Daniel Montero shares what drew him to the story of Dr. Teresita Rodríguez and why TERESITA’S DREAM became such a meaningful film to make.

The documentary follows the Cuban scientist whose search for an Alzheimer’s treatment began after watching her mother battle the disease. Set against the backdrop of Cuba’s biotech sector and the challenges created by decades of U.S. sanctions, TERESITA’S DREAM is a story of love, scientific innovation, and perseverance against the odds.
