Maestra is a 33-minute documentary film directed by Catherine Murphy, about the youngest women teachers of the 1961 Cuban Literacy Campaign.

It sent 250,000 volunteers across the island to teach reading and writing in rural communities for one year.

Murphy was due to return to the United States, but before doing so, she decided to record three interviews with former Literacy Campaign volunteers.

[3] Maestra features interviews with Norma Guillard, one of the first Cuban women to call herself a feminist, and Diana Balboa, one of the first open members of Cuba's LGBT community and an international advocate for gay and lesbian rights.

[4] Maestra premiered in the United States in April 2011 with two screenings in San Francisco, CA.
