In the spring of 1971 in Havana, poet Heberto Padilla is released from prison and attends a Cuban writers\u2019 guild meeting. During the gathering, he delivers what he describes as a \u201cheartfelt self-criticism,\u201d admitting to being a counterrevolutionary agent and accusing many colleagues, including his wife, of the same offense. Just a month earlier, Padilla\u2019s arrest on charges of endangering the security of the Cuban state had sparked a global response from the intellectual community. Supporters, who had previously sympathized with Fidel Castro, leader of the Cuban Revolution, wrote a letter demanding the poet\u2019s freedom. Padilla\u2019s only \u201csin\u201d was expressing dissent and criticism through his poetry. The Padilla Affair, punctuated by interventions from Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez, Julio Cort\u00e1zar, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jorge Edwards, Carlos Fuentes, and Fidel Castro, stands as an astonishing documentary. It provides a window into exploring facets of Cuba\u2019s history that continue to resonate in the present.<\/p>\n
