<br>
Cuba, 1961: 250,000 volunteers taught 700,000 people to read and
write in one year. 100,000 of the teachers were under 18 years
old. Over half were women. MAESTRA explores this story through the
personal testimonies of the young women who went out to teach
literacy in rural communities across the island - and found
themselves deeply transformed in the process. More info at:
