My Way - Drag artist Sinthya challenges LGBTQ prejudices in Cuba

In the fourth episode of "Glitter From Dust," we follow Javier, an artist and activist who lives a dual life in Cuba—identifying as he/him in daily life and transforming into Sinthya, she/her, on stage. Driven by a dream to gain professional recognition, Sinthya travels through small towns around Santa Clara.

Her performances transcend entertainment, serving as powerful acts of activism aimed at challenging and reshaping attitudes toward LGBTQ individuals. This episode highlights Sinthya's efforts to break down barriers and foster acceptance in a traditionally conservative culture.
