Netflix premiered on its platform The Wasp Network and the film is being watched and commented.
The main value of Oliver Assayas’ film is that, true to the historical truth, it is explicit in terms of the right that assists Cubans to infiltrate counter-revolutionary organizations in exile in Miami and thus ensure the security of their country, a vital action for stop the wave of terrorist attacks of the 90s of the last century, under the complacency of the US government.
The film is far from being a manifesto in favor of “the Cuban cause”, as recalcitrant people who never lack, and from the artistic point of view has successes and deficiencies (already pointed out in these same pages, on the occasion of its premiere during the last Festival of New Cinema in Havana).
But the vociferous counter-revolution does not forgive, and just as the film filled with rants, and boycotted it in Miami without seeing it – just knowing that a story about the Five Heroes had been presented at the Venice Festival (2019) – now it rages again With the exhibition, just started by Netflix, and gathers signatures among the burning claque to cry out for its disappearance from the stage that fosters the maximum global streaming platform.
“We want Netflix to remove the movie The Wasp Network for damages from its billboard,” is ridiculously demanded in a document that also states that the film “defends murderous Castro spies, sentenced in the United States.”
Old schemes, repeated lies, pathetic positions, not in the face of a vast, controversial, revealing, imperfect film, but against the truth as a house that emerges from it, and that the signatories of the letter – without solid arguments to discuss – claim erase from the map by all means.
