Cuba is breaking new ground in developing drug treatments.About this Event
Windham World Affairs Council is proud to partner with 118 Elliot for a community screening of this important film.
Teresita’s Dream follows the extraordinary story of Dr. Teresita Rodríguez, a trailblazing Cuban scientist who sets out to develop an Alzheimer’s treatment inspired by her mother’s diagnosis, joined by a team of all-women scientists. What begins as an effort to save her mother, leads to a discovery that could change how the world treats this devastating disease. Teresita’s journey unfolds in Havana’s world-class biotech sector amid the challenges of the U.S. embargo—a powerful story of science, care, hope, and resistance.
The film’s Cuban director, Daniel Montero, will zoom in for Q&A. Elisabeth Stevens, an American who directs 'Americans for Common Sense on Cuba' will moderate the discussion. She is focused on medical exchanges with Cuba and can also answer questions about state of US embargo and how it impacts healthcare in Cuba and Americans' ability to access Cuban produced drugs.
