Synopsis

Rubén Blades, an icon of Latin American music, was at the center of the Salsa revolution of the 70s. His socially themed lyrics and explosive rhythm brought Salsa to an international audience. Blades has been awarded 17 Grammys, performs in Hollywood, received his Law degree from Harvard and ran for the presidency of his native Panama. Blades gives exclusive access to his home to filmmaker Abner Benaim, who is also accompanying him on his concert tour. Con una mirada emotiva y un acceso sin precedentes al corazón de un modesto quirófano al sur de Madagascar, esta historia muestra como, con pocos recursos se puede cambiar el destino de más de dos millones y medio de mujeres rechazadas por la sociedad.
