Wow, I can’t believe that I hadn’t seen that film before. It really shines a light on how hard it is to be part of the LGBTQ+ community as a Cuban citizen. Throughout the film, we learn of the tough life Reinaldo Arenas had. What really inspired me was that even though Arenas had a terrible time growing up and as a grown up, he continued to write. He continued to do the thing he loved to do, even though everything was going against it. This film teaches us a lesson of gratitude and to not take anything for granted. I’m really glad I got to this and I will recommend it to anyone.
