Probably no other history has been interpreted and reinterpreted in
such violently opposing ways as the history between Cuba and the
United States. Regardless of which history you subscribe to, the two
countries, who are actually neighbors, remain isolated from each other
culturally and politically with no meaningful end in sight. 

Despite barriers erected by both governments since 1959,
Ride The Lightning, Metallica's second album, washed upon the shores
of the island circa 1986, sparking a metal movement of frikis who
insisted on their right to rock. In Cuba, this is especially difficult.
In Cuba, this is especially courageous. Access to instruments, practice
space, electricity, social acceptance, accessories, is difficult. Escape, the
band featured in they will be heard, the first feature length documentary
on Cuban heavy metal, shouts, growls,  and screams what they feel,
explosively, forcing people to listen.

UnBlock the Rock is an independent movement to bring hard core Cuban band Escape from Havana to tour with their head banging neighbors in the United States.  UnBlock the Rock believes in the power of music to transcend political and cultural barriers. UnBlock the Rock believes in the power of people to create that music. 

                    We are not waiting to be discovered. We are discovering ourselves.
                                                                   
                                                                    It's our time.
