Cecilia Aldarondo, (Dir), 91 minutes, WNY Premiere, USA

A kaleidoscopic portrait of Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria that criss-crosses the island to document the resilience of a community abandoned by the mainland and banded together to rebuild. This visually arresting cinematic essay examines the ecological and economic crises of American colonialism through the lense of a devastating natural disaster.
