CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, Nov 26 (IPS) - "Viviendo al límite" (Living to the Limit), a documentary by Cuban filmmaker Belkis Vega that follows the lives of five HIV-positive people, will be shown for the first time on Cuban television this week, four years after its release.

Films dealing with social issues often have a long road to travel from the project stage to production, and an even longer road until they finally reach a mass audience. This was one of the conclusions reached at the First Thematic Exhibit of the Humberto Solás Low-Budget Film Festival, held Nov. 20-23 in the city of Cienfuegos, 256 kilometres
east of Havana.
