Lazaro and the Shark: Cuba under the Surface plot

In the impoverished city of Santiago de Cuba, a Conga competition takes place annually during Carnival. Various bands participate, using minimal resources but displaying a great deal of creativity. They scour the scarce markets for materials with which to create spectacular acts. Documentary filmmaker William Sabourin O'Reilly follows Lázaro, leader of Conga de los Hoyos, who is determined to defeat the Shark: his older and more established rival.
