HAVANA IS FALLING APART DUE TO THE PURPOSE NEGLECT OF THE CASTRO OLIGARCHY! YOUTUBE DOCUMENTARY: Habana - Arte Nuevo de Hacer Ruinas, Parte 1 de 6 - HAVANA: The New Art of Making Ruins In recent years, Havana has become famous all over the world for the morbid charm of its flaking façades – a curious blend of magic and decay – and romanticized in countless Hollywood films and documentaries, most notably perhaps in Buena Vista Social Club. Its beauty resides in the poetry of its ruins. But these ruins are far less poetic for the people who inhabit them. Houses frequently collapse causing fatalities. The decay of this city and its living quarters is a continual source of both danger and shame for its inhabitants. This unique documentary tells the stories of the people who reside in these modern ruins, from a homeless man who lives in an abandoned theater (in which Caruso once sang for Cuba’s high society), to an expropriated landowner who struggles against the decay of his parental home, to a writer who conceives a philosophy of the ruins to explain and bear the gradual collapse of the city and its political system. youtube/watch?v=jkA3lw5plks
