In the prologue of Sara Gomez. A different cinema, The narrator, essayist and journalist Reynaldo González stated:
Sara Gómez’s documentaries did not stop at the exalting rhetoric of the social projects of the Revolution because she tried to live them cinematically; With them she entered into the “shock tasks” of the period, as occurred in the transitions of the dialogues when she, together with her “characters,” participated in a formative claim, of great significant ambition and high consensus, in search of confirmations. . She was involved in social proposals, not in their exaltation, she evaluated them while showing them.
In this opening piece, the author of Crying is a pleasure sketch nouns words:
Sara Gómez: a different cinema is a book of varied usefulness and widespread vibrations, which enriches the ICAIC Editions catalogue. The information that it puts in the hands of its readers is based on a desire for justice. Thanks to his search we are faced with an outstanding personality, who did not always have the recognition he deserved, but relied on his persistence and courage to overcome clumsiness that seemed invincible. In these pages we learn that immediate power is not strong enough to drown out the reason of art and its persuasive intelligence. Sara Gómez survives in the heat of her documentary work, where she made differences and defended the land in which she worked, her own by nature and coherence.
