David Turnley's La Tropical

I really want to know more about the 2002 Cuban dance documentary La Tropical, a film by photojournalist David Turnley. Ever since I first heard about the film, I've been wanting to see it. Occasionally I'll search for information, hoping to see that it's gone to DVD...but not yet. Sure, if I lived in Miami or New York I could drop in to any film festival and see it, but I'm a little geographically challenged.

My most recent web search turned up a reference on TV Guide's web site. The nice thing about this reference is that it includes to short clips from the film. Cool.

I haven't yet tried to contact Turnley directly to help with viewing the film. I'll get around to doing that, I suppose.

David Turnley is a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist who started working with video several years ago, producing several pieces that aired on Nightline. David's twin brother Peter Turnley is also a world-class photojournalist. (Yes, that's cool and unusual.) I had the good fortune to meet the Turnley brothers in 1992 while attending the Eddie Adams Workshop.
