With a vibrant musical soundtrack, Gómez portrays the city of Santiago de Cuba, connecting contemporary men and women to a past of slavery and resistance.
The title was taken from a poem by Federico García Lorca. The film is photographed by Mario Garcia Joya. It portraits Santiago de Cuba and its people gently and yet its informal voice-over commentary also makes this film striking at that time. In IRÉ A SANTIAGO, Sara Gomez explores the feelings of the people of Santiago de Cuba. Mulato is a frame of mind, the film says, and that also becomes a way of shooting and editing.
