After the revolution of 1959 and the US embargo that followed, the people of Cuba were left to fend for themselves. Deprived of even the most basic goods, they scavenged the alleys and scrap heaps and, through sheer ingenuity, gave the discarded new life. Shot entirely in Cuba, this program discusses the major developments in Cuba's economic and cultural isolation, particularly the problems that followed the collapse of key ally the Soviet Union, but primarily focuses on the creative and ingenious methods the Cuban public have used to overcome the lack of necessary material goods they are faced with through home made inventions and adaptations.

"After the Cuban revolution in 1959 and the U.S. embargo that followed it, the Cuban people were left to their own ingenuity to survive. Deprived of the most basic goods, the people scavenged the island and reworked what they found in creative ways to fill their needs. Shot entirely in Cuba, this documentary film is a look at the indomitable and resilient spirit of the island's inhabitants."

"Après la révolution de 1959 et l'embargo des États-Unis qui a suivi, la population Cuba a été livrée à elle-même. Privés de la plupart des produits de base, les produits récupérés et recyclés sont souvent remarquablement ingénieux et créatifs. Pour Andrés le sculpteur, Tomas l'éleveur de canaris et les autres personnages de "Sin Embargo", même la plus grande pression - du gouvernement ou du quotidien - ne peut briser les âmes ni annuler le désir de construire une vie meilleure pour eux-mêmes et leurs familles. Tourné entièrement à Cuba, "Sin Embargo" plonge dans les coeurs et les rêves des peuples qui luttent et est un hommage à leur optimisme et à leur détermination de vivre."
