Résumé:

"When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990s, the country faced an immediate crisis, feeding the population, and an ongoing challenge; how to create a new low-energy society. Cuba transitioned from large, fossil-fuel intensive farming to small, less energy-intensive organic farms and urban gardens, and from a highly industrial society to a more sustainable one"--Page 4 of cover.
"Quand Cuba a perdu l'accès au pétrole soviétique au début des années 1990, le pays a fait face à une crise immédiate - alimentation de la population - et un défi permanent: comment créer une nouvelle société à faible énergie. Ce film raconte l'histoire de la contrainte du peuple cubain, l'ingéniosité et triompher de l'adversité soudaine - grâce à la coopération, la conservation et la collectivité."
