Charlize Theron has defended her latest movie amidst criticism that it shows a pro-American bias towards Cuba�s current problems.

The film �East Of Havana� tells the story of three young rappers who have their love of hip hop censored by the communist authorities.

Critics have attacked the movie for having a rose-tinted view of America�s current trade embargo on the country.

However, Theron defended the movie saying: �I think in the film we really address the America-Cuba relationship. If there is any political comment it was through (the characters') voices - it's their story not our story."

"In no way are we saying America isn't at fault here."

"Do you actually think in America this is seen as a pro-American film? If we really made a film about the embargo it wouldn't make sense. It's ridiculous."
