Puerto Rico Libre

Write Josh: “Speaking of freeing Puerto Rico, have you seen “Yo Soy Boricua”? It’s an independent documentary put together by Rosie Perez about the “relationship” between the federal government and the island and people of Puerto Rico. I saw it on IFC a couple weeks ago, it was a real eye opener for me! Very sobering to say the least. I knew that there was controversy and protests over the U.S. naval activities there but I hadn’t stopped to think about what else might have transpired over the past century, but of course I’m new to this way of thinking and looking at things. If you have access to IFC it’ll be airing again next month. And here’s an interview with Rosie Perez.”
