Film Screening of 'We Still Here Puerto Rico' and Q&A

Join us for a film screening of the documentary We Still Here Puerto Rico followed by a Q&A with filmmakers and activists.

The film introduces the incredible youth of Comerío, Puerto Rico, navigating the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, a disaster that brought an unprecedented level of devastation. In the lush mountains in the center of Puerto Rico, 24-year-old Mariangelie Ortiz leads a group of young residents who never thought they would become the leaders of their community, nonetheless find themselves traveling to Washington, D.C., to protest in the halls of Congress. Follow them in this coming of age story to find their power and begin creating a sustainable future for themselves and their community.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the producers and with activists featured in the film.

This event is sponsored by International Studies and co-sponsored by Film Studies; the Center for Social Sciences; Latin American, Latina/o, and Iberian Studies; the Education Department; the History Department; and the Spanish Department.
