Harley A La Cubana

Vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles from the 30s and 40s are still rumbling through the streets of Cuba – restored to their full glory and painstakingly maintained using a hodgepodge of salvaged parts and handmade makeshift solutions. Mandy lives on the outskirts of Havana and dreams of becoming the premiere Harley mechanic on the island.

My take

A love letter to resilience and craftsmanship. Watch as one woman chases her dream of mastering vintage Harley mechanics in Cuba, where ingenuity and determination transform rust into roaring machines. It's meditative, inspiring, and deeply human.
