CAMINO DE LAVA
Afibola is a queer, black Cuban mother who tries to teach her son Olorun the tools to be a free person of African descent despite the obstacles that surround him. In the intimacy of the spaces in which her community lives, she reflects on the difficulty of educating a black child in a racist and discriminatory society.
