ALL GUANTANAMO IS OURS
All Guantánamo is Ours is a 37 minute film with English subtitles, shows the perspective and sentiment of the Cuban people, in particular those living in the towns around Guantanamo, about the illegal occupation of the U.S. Naval Base. The film is unique in revealing what the occupation looked like before and after the revolution. The protagonists in this documentary are the people living there who with their voices denounce this injustice convinced that one day that territory will be returned to Cuba.  Produced by Resumen Latinamericano and The International Committee for Peace, Justice and Dignity

HotHouse is also supported in part by grants from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelly Foundation, The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation through the John. D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and through individual donations and volunteer efforts. Thank You!
We remain so grateful for the simple things in life like good music with friends and being able to continue working with some of the worlds most creative artists
 HotHouse was conceived as a means to amplify first voice narratives from marginalized and disenfranchised communities
For more than 30 years we have acted to collectivize our resources in the service of high caliber artistic expression and social justice activism
Our work is not about creating entertainment options but a means to instigate a paradigm shift toward progressive culture
In the three decades we have been serving Chicago we have witnessed amazing progress toward equity – we know we have a ways to come but we will get there together
No human is illegal
War is not the answer
Another world is possible
Venceremos!
