    It is 1891 and Jos Mart (as portrayed by Chaz Mena) is preparing for his first trip to Tampa and Ybor City. Time is running out for the Cuban independence movement and Mart must inspire and galvanize his people to join the revolution against Spain in order to achieve a just society in Cuba. As he readies himself for the journey, Mart reflects upon his childhood, his studies, his writings, and his loves. Charla, which in Spanish means a chat, allows us to appreciate the challenges Mart faced in jump-starting the Cuban Revolution.
