Now!
Directed by Santiago Álvarez
Produced by ICAIC
A visceral, montage-driven propaganda film that harnesses morgue imagery and Lena Horne's voice to indict violence and injustice with urgent, confrontational energy.
Using morgue photos, newsreel footage, and a recording by Lena Horne, Cuban filmmaker Santiago Alvarez fired off 'Now!', one of the most powerful bursts of propaganda rendered in the 1960s.
