Panfilo broke in to a videodocumentation of regaton music in the street in Havana to complain about the lack of food (jama is slang for food in Cuban Spanish) He very explicitly gave his message to the world outside through the camera lens. During the spring of 2009 this clip became a Youtube favorite. In August Pamfilo was sentenced to two years in jail for his loudmouthed appeal.

LAST NEWS:(18th of September) MIAMI HERALD reports that Panfilo is now transferred to a psychiatric hospital for 21 days. He will be released after treatment for alcoholism.

We added Norwegian subtitles to the video and showed it to an Oslo audience in the action for Panfilo on Christiania Torg in Oslo on the Oslo Culture Night. Pucho (Alexis Parra) converted a shopping trolley into a portable video and distributed information about what had happened to Panfilo. Here is a documentation of the action (embedded from Youtube)

We collected money to buy food for Panfilos family at the webshop envioregalos.com to be delivered in Havana
