Writer and revolutionary José Martí was one of the first to die in the Cuban uprising in 1895. For the previous fifteen years, he had been plotting revolution and romance from a boarding house in New York City. In honor of the 150th anniversary of Martí’s birth, writer Francisco Goldman and Martí translator Esther Allen roam the streets of Brooklyn searching for evidence of one of Martí’s most intriguing liaisons. Selections from Martí’s writings read by Ramon Gonzalez-Cuevas. Produced by Amanda Aronczyk.
