The film also received support from a group of residents of the U.S. city of Traverse, Minnesota, who organized a Cuban film fund.
On Sunday, the film will be shown in an open-air screening in the neighborhood where it was shot, as part of celebrations for Children’s Day in Cuba, and then it will be screened in 300 venues nationwide.
In Cuba, Children’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of July, while official discourse in Turkey argues that Children’s Day had its origin in Turkey. The Grand National Assembly of Turkey was established on 1920, April 23, and to commemorate the event, April 23 was proclaimed a national holiday in 1921.(The founder of The Republic of Turkey,Atatürk, has given this day to the children.) Since 1927 it has also become Children’s Day (Turkish: Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramı, literally “The Holiday of National Sovereignty and Children”), an official holiday dedicated to the children of Turkey and the world. The day is celebrated annually in Turkey with spectacular activities. Michael Moore loves children and cares for them on a global level.
