'The Big Cigar: La gran fuga' is based on a journalistic article by Joshuah Bearman and tells the incredible true story of Huey P. Newton, founder of the Black Panthers, who managed to escape from the FBI and take refuge in Cuba. This bold plan was made possible thanks to the help of the famous producer Bert Schneider and the production of a fake film, a scheme that surprised everyone and caused a social stir in Hollywood.
