Inspiring, empowering, and thought-provoking. I saw this documentary through Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, I couldn't experience it fully since no English subtitles were provided for the Spanish parts. Still, I highly recommend you to watch and learn about struggles and achievements of Korean immigrants and their offspring in Cuba.

Plot summary
Born to Korean immigrant parents freed from indentured servitude in early twentieth century Mexico, Jerónimo Lim Kim joins the Cuban Revolution with his law school classmate Fidel Castro and becomes an accomplished government official in the Castro regime, until he rediscovers his ethnic roots and dedicates his later life to reconstructing his Korean Cuban identity. After Jerónimo's death, younger Korean Cubans recognize his legacy, but it is not until they are presented with the opportunity to visit South Korea that questions about their mixed identity resurface.

Very interesting story of a Korean-origin man in Cuba
This is a well structured documentary of the very interesting life of a Korean-origin man in Cuba. But beyond that it is about multi-multiculturalism, diasporas, globalisation. And what a wonderful playground the world becomes when cultures mix.
