In 18 public parks across Cuba everyone has the opportunity to contact loved ones, explore social media, upload photos and find internet dates thanks to ETECSA – the only telephone company in the country – installing wifi routers in 2016. For many Cubans, this meant being able to go online for the first time.
The documentary Conectifai - meaning ‘Connection’ - shows how one of these wifi parks in Havana has become a new social meeting place, as every day crowds of people with smartphones, tablets and chairs turn up to cluster together around the wifi antennas.
