19 minTHE FILM
How a city with almost no bandwidth built its own internet by hand — passed drive to drive, door to door.
Before broadband, Havana built El Paquete — a terabyte of the week's internet copied to hard drives and walked across the city by hand. We meet the couriers and curators of the most human network on Earth, and ask what it knows that the real internet forgot.
