Havana, June 27 (RHC-PL)-- Award-winning U.S. filmmaker, Oliver Stone, has expressed today his support for Cuba facing the U.S. policy change proclaimed by President, Donald Trump, to the detriment of the relations with the Caribbean country.
The writer and director signed the message sent by the National Association of Cuban Writers and Artists (UNEAC) to the friends of Cuban culture in the United States, in order to denounce the policy change Trump announced on June 16th.
The Cuban organization described that speech as outdated, obsolete, loaded with falsehoods and stereotypes, and with words particularly directed to an audience that does not represent the majority of the Cuban-Americans.
“We aspire to continue working together to build a fruitful relationship in the cultural field and on the basis of equality, favoring the mutual spiritual enrichment of both nations,” the UNEAC proclamation states.
The document so far has more than 2,000 signatures of people from 45 countries.
Three Oscars and five Golden Globe awards have distinguished Stone's professional career. As a director, he has been inspired by real events to conceive the majority of his works.
The director visited Havana in December 2016, during the International Festival of the New Latin American Cinema, where he presented his most recent film, 'Snowden', about the alarming revelations by former NSA employee, Edward Snowden.
