HAVANA, FROM ON HIGH
Nestled above a decaying district of the city is a secret village, hidden from the clamour of the streets below. These makeshift houses are inhabited by persons like many other residents in Havana, they have been forced upwards by the chronic shortage of housing. From their perch atop the city, they bear witness to a society that is in the process of a major historical transformation after more than 60 years of revolutionary government.
Brief Summary
A dazzling and poetic journey, with the people who live in the canopy of Havana
