They Are We tells the story of a remarkable reunion, 170 or so years after a family was driven apart by the ravages of the transatlantic slave trade. In Central Cuba, proud members of the Gangá-Longobá, a small Afro-Cuban ethnic group, have kept their unique heritage alive and have retained a collection of distinct songs and dances that one of their ancestors brought from Africa as a slave. They Are We chronicles the Gangá-Longobá and the village their ancestor called home.
