VOICED: Cigar rollers work their hands, and their minds

The video explores the role of a reader in a Havana cigar factory, highlighting how Grizzell, a reader for 20 years, enriches the lives of workers by reading newspapers and books. This tradition helps workers stay informed and engaged, despite the monotony of their work. Grizzell uses humor and interaction to connect with the workers, who have limited education. The practice of reading aloud is a cherished tradition that machines cannot replace, much like the hand-rolled cigars produced in the factory.
