I had the incredible privilege of viewing this documentary with the director and crew on the screening to ask questions. I saw the second official screening of the documentary at the Puerto Rico Film Festival in El Cine Towne Center, Mayagüez (the first screening, which I didn’t have the chance to go, was in the Centro de Bellas Artes de Santurce). It is incredibly well directed, it is humorous in its critique and analysis, it does an incredible job at portraying the absurdity and “papeloneo” of the colonized psyche of the Puerto Rican people. It has a beautiful cinematography, beautiful illustrations, a deep understanding of the Fanonian analysis it is implementing. Man, I brought my mother to watch this and it completely reanimated her revolutionary spirit she had in her youthful university days. That is how moving this documentary is. Every Puerto Rican needs to watch this documentary in their lifetime. It is about time we do some retrospection.
