Tourné à partir de janvier 1963, Soy Cuba fut mal reçu à sa sortie en 1964 aussi bien en URSS qu'à Cuba. Il donna notamment lieu à une polémique à Cuba pour son ambiguïté dans la présentation de la société cubaine à la fin de l'ère Batista. Il fut par ailleurs interdit dans les cinémas américains durant la guerre froide. Il tomba donc dans l'oubli jusqu'à sa redécouverte grâce au romancier Guillermo Cabrera Infante, qui le fit projeter au Festival du film de Telluride en 1992. Projeté ensuite au Festival international du film de San Francisco en 1993, il soulève l'enthousiasme de Martin Scorsese et de Francis Ford Coppola, qui en parrainent la diffusion.

2003. Les Etats-Unis et l'Angleterre s'apprêtent à intervenir en Irak car l’administration Bush prétexte, sans preuve plausible, que Saddam Hussein détient des armes de destruction massive. Employée des renseignements britanniques, au sein du Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Katharine Gun reçoit dans ses courriels un mémo secret indiquant que les États-Unis sollicitent l'aide de la Grande-Bretagne pour rassembler des informations compromettantes sur certains délégués du Conseil de l'ONU afin de les obliger à voter en faveur de l'invasion. S'ils votent contre, elles seront divulguées publiquement. Stupéfaite, Gun hésite à révéler la machination liée à cette intervention illégale. Malgré tout, elle envoie anonymement le mémo à la presse afin de tenter d'empêcher la guerre qui s'annonce inutile et aux conséquences désastreuses. Mais, en choisissant d'exposer cette vaste conspiration politique, la lanceuse d'alerte met en danger sa vie, son couple, sa liberté et son sens du patriotisme. Car sa décision est considérée comme une trahison aux yeux des services secrets britanniques.
