Vanessa Redgrave: Self (segment "Protest")
Quotes
-
Herself (segment "Protest") : [Vanessa Redgrave] We're here and there are people in other places who at this very second aren't here and aren't anywhere and why we write and why we act and why we sing is because we're alive and to the dead, what we write and what we sing and what we say is of no use at all. So because Fidel's revolution brought life and words and paintings to people but most of all life, I'm speaking from him and from José Marti who wrote the words for a song that was later made, that has become famous and that you all know and I hope you will sing it. Cuba! Cuba! Estudio, Trabajo, Fusil! Alfabetizar, alfabetizar! Venceremos! Cuba! Cuba! Estudio, Trabajo, Fusil. Alfabetizar, alfabetizar! Venceremos!
[she continues and then sings Guantanamera]
