Puerto Rican Activism and Resistance

  2. Labor documentaries on the prevalence of precarious work in Puerto Rico and the historical struggle of a group of Puerto Rican merchant marine workers who organized for better working conditions (The Stand-by Generation and Salty Dog Blues)
  3. Films about the lasting environmental effects of the U.S. Navy in the island of Vieques (Vieques and Living Along the Fenceline)
  4. Critical views of the damaging effects of urban renewal and gentrification in Nuyorican communities (Break and Enter, The Case Against Lincoln Center and Voces de Fillmore)
  5. Legacies of the Attica prison rebellion and Puerto Rican families in Philadelphia fighting against police brutality (Teach Our Children and Black and Blue)
  6. Films on Puerto Rican visual artist Samuel Lind, Nuyorican spoken word artists La Bruja, Mariposa and Papoleto, and a celebration of Puerto Rican folk music and Nuyorican identity (Samuel Lind's Coastal World, La Bruja, Percussion, Impressions, Reality and Latino Poets Speakout).
  7. Films on the Young Lords, Operation Move-In and (Break and Enter, Palante, Siempre Palante! and El Pueblo Se Levanta)
