An inspirational new documentary brings to

U.S. audiences an American filmmaker's

message of Cuba's prisoners of conscience.

  IN ALTUM PRODUCTIONS & THE PAN-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION, Los Angeles (March 15, 2010) - - OSCAR'S CUBA, a documentary about Amnesty International's prisoner of conscience and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Dr. Oscar E. Biscet, will be pre-screened in Los Angeles at the BARNSDALL GALLERY THEATER on Sunday, March 21, 2010, from 6 to 7:30 PM. There will be a reception prior to the screening between 5 and 6PM. This event is being hosted by Maria Conchita Alonso, and by the City of Los Angeles Department of Arts and Culture.

While in Cuba on another film project, Jordan Allott of In Altum Productions learned of Dr. Biscet's condition and that of more than 200 Cuban political prisoners. Moved by their stories, he felt compelled to make their plight known to the American people.  Allott filmed most of Oscar's Cuba clandestinely on the Island; there, he interviewed Dr. Biscet's wife and other dissidents, including blogger Yoani Sanchez (chosen as one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people in the world); Oswaldo Paya, and Gorki Aguila. Risking further reprisals, they talk about the persecution they constantly face under the Castro regime.  The documentary also shows what individuals, international groups and governments are doing to obtain the freedom of those unjustly imprisoned in Cuba.  

 Four-time Grammy award winning Cuban musician, Arturo Sandoval, contributes an original soundtrack to the production.
