The Cuban filmmaker thanked this recognition for an initiative to which he has devoted himself in the last three decades; and highlighted the support of the Montpellier Cuba Solidarité association to Televisión Serrana.

Since 2010, the French association in solidarity with Cuba, chaired by Jean-Michel Gramond, has been accompanying the community project, both in the dissemination and concrete actions in that part of the Sierra Maestra mountain range, for the benefit of its inhabitants.

Montpellier Cuba Solidarité invited Jiménez and his colleague Kenia Rodriguez to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the audiovisual platform in that southern city, this month, with talks, cultural activities, and documentary screenings.
