History about Puerto Rico and a little about how we ended up in the USA. I learned a bit from this!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Very informative piece on Nuyorican culture and history of Puerto Rico. Made me feel my pride bursting out of me! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Great documentary by Rosie Perez on Puerto Rican culture, identity, and history (more than just a documentary on the parade, as the description states). Informative, enjoyable, and doesn't dance around criticism of U.S. colonialist policies toward PR. Good movie to show students if you're teaching Latino Studies.
