New Documentary about Pastors for Peace Caravans to Cuba.
*La version en espanol sigue la version en ingles
Dear friends of IFCO/Pastors for Peace,
We are excited to announce to you the release of "People to People," a
new documentary about the Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravans to
Cuba.
Directed by Consuelo Elba, this engaging film mixes archival footage
with video from the 2008 Caravan to Cuba and recent interviews to tell
the story of Pastors for Peace and the Latin American School of
Medicine in Havana, Cuba. "People to People" was co-produced in Cuba
by ICAIC (the Cuban Institute of Art and Film) and the Cuban Institute
of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP).
To view the trailer for “People to People,” visit our website:

Premiering "People to People" is the perfect occasion to hold an event
about the Pastors for Peace Caravan and the US blockade against Cuba
in your community. It is a dynamic tool which can be used to help
promote and fundraise for the 2010 Caravan to Cuba, which will bring
together over100 people and hundreds of tons of aid and vehicles
destined for Cuba- but only with your help. The film can also be used
to raise
awareness about the scholarship offer at the Latin American School of Medicine.
Contact the IFCO/Pastors for Peace New York office for assistance and
resources as you plan your event. It is also a great opportunity to
invite a Pastors for Peace speaker to your community, church, or
campus to share first-hand their experiences on the Caravan and in
Cuba.
The fully bilingual (English and Spanish) DVD is available for $20.
