In the prologue to Sarah Gomez. a different cinemathe 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 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 the social proposals, not in their exaltation, she evaluated them while showing them ”.
In this opening piece, the author of Crying is a pleasure sketches substantive words:
“Sara Gómez: a different cinema is a book of varied utility and widespread vibrations, which enriches the catalog of ICAIC Editions. 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 receive the recognition he deserved, but relied on his persistence and courage to outwit clumsiness that seemed invincible. In these pages we learn that immediate power is not strong enough to stifle art’s reason and its persuasive intelligence. Sara Gómez survives in the heat of her documentary filmmaking, where she made a difference and defended the terrain on which she worked, her own by nature and by coherence”.
