Today we're getting into the SXSW film Soy Cubana, a documentary that follows the Vocal Vidas, a musical group from Cuba as they attempt to travel to Los Angeles to perform in a summer concert series. We're joined by co-directors Jeremy Ungar and Ivaylo Getov and producer Robin Miller Ungar, who explain how they got connected with the Vocal Vidas, and why they had to turn this short story into a feature length documentary. We get into the ability of music to unite, why the documentary almost didn't get made, and the serendipitous magic of being in the right place at the right time. This movie brings the joy and the warmth that we so desperately needed, and we hope to see the Vocal Vidas one day in real life! Remember concerts?
