A group of people are attending the screening of an interview with Leonela Relys, a humble Cuban teacher who created a simple literacy method, Yes, I can, with this method, more than 20 million people have been literate in a bit more than one decade. A didactic and innovative method awarded by UNESCO and which has represented a new hope in the struggle for a literate and cultured world. Leonela words, along with the participation of other characters, are the common thread of this document that goes deep into the problem of illiteracy. Testimony to testimony we are discovering the germ of all the inequalities, discriminations and injustices that hit the world. Because illiteracy is not only that you cannot read or write, it is not only a problema of the Third World: illiteracy, in any of its variants versions, goes with each person, each community, and if we are unable to identify and eradicate it we will contribute to the perpetuation of poverty and exclusion of an important part of the world society. Leo to life is more than a documentary, it is a guide that questions us and invites us to analyze how free we are of illiteracy, especially political illiteracy. In the journey of life, it is like holding a humble oil lamp in the middle of the the deepest darkness.
