    While trying to show both sides of any story, documentary-maker Estela Bravo ultimately wants her audience to be left with her perspective. Understanding the objective of your documentary is the best way to avoid wasting precious time and money.

    This was one of the key messages the famous film-maker and her husband Ernesto had for would-be filmmakers during a recent visit to Rhodes University.

    Cuban ambassador  Carlos Fernandes de Cossio accompanied the couple, who spoke to students and staff about the making of three of her films. There was also discussion about the political and cultural ties between Cuba and South Africa.

    During a morning conference Bravo spoke to audiences about her film Holy Father and Gloria, which follows the meeting of Carmen Gloria and the Pope in Chile.

    Later she presented Mandela and Fidel and After the Battle.

    Afterwards, members of the audience were invited to question Bravo about her film-making methods and style. She offered insights about the people she had met and advice to aspiring filmmakers and journalists.

    Bravo has made around 30 award-winning films.
