Returning to Cuba and more importantly, shooting in Cuba was not an easy feat. It took courage to go back in time to a place where I had so many unanswered questions, so many lost childhood memories, so much generational pain. The Cuba I experienced is not the Cuba we left. The country is isolated, run-down, there is a lack of the most basic goods and freedoms and yet this personal exploration gave me the chance to come full circle and come home to myself. 

I also wanted to celebrate the caretakers in my life: my two moms. I wanted to invite the audience to look back at their own lives and see who really made a difference and helped them become the human beings they are today.
