An Honest Boy, Un hombre sincero, conveys the messages of Cuban national hero and prominent figure in Latin American literature, José Martí. The story tells of the events that shaped his life as a writer, teacher, journalist and revolutionary while illustrating them through his Versos Sencillos. Marti’s ideas about freedom, democracy and independence come together in a poetic way that ultimately becomes a call to Cuban freedom and universal friendship; it echoes long into the future as part of one of Cuba’s most famous songs, Guantanamera.
