Abstract
Dean Cesar Santalo of the College of Communication and Design created the Patria Y Vida mural, which is featured in the award-winning, Latin Grammy-nominated documentary Patria Y Vida: The Power of Music. The film is making its U.S. premiere at AMC Theatres, with the mural as a major theme in the documentary.
The film is a powerful story that shows the impact of a protest anthem in mobilizing a movement against oppression, while also being a symbol of freedom. The mural helps to narrate this journey and offer an authentic representation of the Cuban aesthetic and the emotional depth and struggle behind the movement.
