La Campaña, comedia con Luis Alberto García, Daniel Romero, Tahimi Alvariño, Yasmani Guerrero,

The Campaign (2021), a Cuban comedy about the National Literacy Campaign in Cuba, a nationwide campaign launched in 1961 by the Cuban government at the initiative of Che Guevara to reduce illiteracy and increase the percentage of the population enrolled in school. Preparations for the campaign began in 1960 and officially ended on December 22, 1961, when the government declared Cuba, in José Martí Revolution Square, a Territory Free of Illiteracy. In 1958, the illiteracy rate among urban residents was 11%, compared to 41.7% in rural areas. The campaign reduced illiteracy to 3.9% by 1961. That year, 1961, was proclaimed "Education Year" in Cuba. Background Despite the establishment of compulsory education for all children in the 1940 Cuban Constitution,[2] the education system was characterized by significant inequalities in access to educational resources and opportunities,[3] resulting in limited education for the poorest sectors of society. These inequalities were particularly pronounced in the contrast between urban areas, with an 11.0% illiteracy rate, and rural areas, with 47.1%.[1] In 1958, one million people were completely illiterate, and there were over one million semi-literate individuals; In addition, 600,000 children were out of school.[4] Proportionally, fewer school-age children attended school in the 1950s than in the 1920s.[5] Before coming to power, during the insurrectionary period, the guerrillas carried out some literacy campaigns for the population in the areas under their control, from December 1956 to January 1959, in the Sierra Maestra, the Sierra Cristal, and the Escambray Mountains. with Daniel Romero, Luis Alberto García, Tahimi Alvariño, Yasmani Guerrero, Ana Patricia Martín (Pomi), Vida García & Viola García
