WIN the SONS of CUBA DVD. Get in there we have just two to give away!!!!!!!!
Sons of Cuba follows the stories of three young hopefuls at the legendary Havana Boxing Academy during their excruciating training regime over eight months as they prepare for the Cuba's national boxing championship for under 12s, coinciding with the most significant period of political transition in Cuba in the last 50 years.
For them, and Cuba, boxing is not just a sport. It is a chance to become a national hero, a symbol of Cuba, as well as a way of bettering their lives. The boys endure a gruelling regime. Lang notes, "You're not sure if the audience is going to be impressed or horrified with what the kids are going through."
Sons of Cuba is at once intimate, personal and political, delving deep into the heart and mind of modern Cuba, while documenting a country at a moment of historic change.
Now available to by on DVD, from all good stores...
And here you have the chance to win a copy. It's real easy!
Just email to: amanda@cubanrhumjungle.com: Name and Contact number. By Monday 25th October 10pm. And winners will be selected at random on Tuesday.
