Gail & I attended two wonderful films at the International Diaspora Film Festival last week.
Una Noche is a film about Cuban youth trying to escape to the USA on a raft.
Cyclo is a documentary about two Mexican brothers who retrace their 1956 bicycle journey from Mexico to Canada.

Following the screening of Cyclo, we were entertained by Amanda Martinez and her band. Amanda is the daughter of Gustavo, one of the cyclists in Cyclo.
Amanda has a new album out now, MAÑANA, which I can highly recommend!
