Les critiques de cinéma contemporains considèrent le film épique I Am Cuba comme un chef-d'œuvre moderne. La coproduction cubano-soviétique de 1964 a marqué un tournant dans la collaboration culturelle entre les deux nations. Pourtant, le film n'a jamais trouvé un public de masse et a langui pendant des décennies jusqu'à sa réintroduction en tant que "classique" dans les années 1990. Vicente Ferraz explore l'étrange histoire de ce tour de force cinématographique et sa signification profonde pour ceux qui ont participé à sa création.

Banned in the Soviet Union for its "negative" content and never released, Kalatozov was forced to retreat from filmmaking for seven years because of this film. The film sets out to illustrate the old adage, "For want of a nail, the battle was lost," showing how the inferior quality of something so trivial as a nail in a soldier's boot leads inexorably to the capture of an armored train. Kalatozov had intended to demonstrate the crucial and universal importance of efficiency in Soviet industry, but the government decided that his fable gave a negative impression of the Red Army's capabilities.
