Canberra, June 11, 2026. In a further gesture of solidarity with Cuba, organizations, activists, and friends of our country in Australia have promoted the screening of the documentary "Cuba After Castro" in various cities across the country. This initiative seeks to offer Australian audiences a reflective look at the Cuban reality and, at the same time, strengthen ties of friendship and support with the Cuban people.
This initiative is part of the ongoing Australian solidarity movement with Cuba, which in recent years has developed campaigns, cultural activities, and community actions aimed at raising awareness of the situation in Cuba and promoting spaces for exchange, debate, and cooperation between the two nations. In this context, the screening of the documentary takes on special significance, offering an opportunity to learn firsthand about diverse perspectives on the challenges and transformations taking place in Cuban society.
The successful premiere held in Perth is a concrete example of the interest this initiative has generated among solidarity-minded sectors of Australian society. The broad participation and positive reception of this first screening confirm the documentary's potential as a tool for fostering informed debate and reflection on Cuba within the Australian context.
Scheduling these screenings in different cities across the country also represents an expression of the commitment to keeping international solidarity with Cuba alive, at a time when the island continues to face the effects of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government. Through this initiative, the organizers seek to mobilize communities, groups, and supporters of the Cuban cause around a cultural activity of high political and human value.
Furthermore, the distribution of the documentary helps broaden the reach of the message of solidarity, promoting an informed and respectful conversation about Cuba among diverse sectors of Australian society. Embassy officials will be present at the screening scheduled in Canberra on June 29.
We welcome this important initiative and recognize the efforts of those in Australia who continue to support the Cuban people through concrete acts of friendship and solidarity. The diplomatic mission invites everyone to follow the screening schedule, which includes presentations in Adelaide, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, and other cities, and to participate in this valuable expression of solidarity.
For more information about the screenings, please follow the organizers' official posts on their digital platforms.
