Then, and through the lens of Roberto Chile, the documentary “Escencias,
la Colmenita en Estados Unidos” (Essence, the little beehive in the United
States) was born, which will be premiered this Wednesday on Cuban television.

The work, 68 minutes in length, resume the journey of love, peace and
goodwill that the Cuban children took around the U.S.

In an exclusive interview to ACN, Roberto Chile said: “Personally,
travelling with those talented Cuban children became a gift of fate, whose
biggest challenge was to reveal the emotions aroused by The Beehive in the
American public, thanks to the imagination and creativity of that other
big boy by the name of Carlos Alberto Cremata (Tin).”

The film begins in New York due to the delay by the U.S. State Department
to grant visas to its filmmaker, “and although the work does not show the
full tour, says
Chile, it supports the view that the friendship and solidarity do not
stand blockades.”

For the Cuban filmmaker it is excellent idea that has been decided to
premier the new documentary to coincide with the 159 anniversary of the
birth of our Apostle José Martí.

“When I received word that this would be the case, I felt an infinite joy,
because all who participated in making the tape and the entire Little
Beehive, are burning with desire for our people and friends around the
world, especially the U.S., to share their art and the indelible part of
the emotions experienced during the tour.”

The Little Beehive, declared by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2007, took
to the US the shows “the Cockroach Martina”, “Abracadabra”, and appeared
in various American places in which it awakened love, affection and
solidarity in all of their audiences.

Along with Chile, who worked as cameraman, scriptwriter and director, the
team was made up by Salvador Combarro, as editor; René Baños, was
responsible for the original music, the narration was done by Claudia
Alvariño and graphic design was made by Reynier Aquino.

“If this documentary contributes one bit to the spread in the U.S. and
elsewhere the knowledge of the injustice against our Five Heroes, I will
feel much happier than I already am”
