Set to the pulsating beats of Afro-Caribbean music, the feature-length documentary film FRENEMIES examines the fraught relationship between the island nation of Cuba and the United States. Blending 1950s archival footage with contemporary shots of Cuba’s economic decay and vibrant culture, the film paints a vivid portrait of a nation fighting for survival against the world’s longest-running embargo.
