SIMULACROS DE LIBERACIÓN (DRILLS OF LIBERATION)

by Juan C. Dávila. 2021. 120 min.

With humor and emotional depth Dávila’s work captures the community response to Hurricane Maria and the island’s debt crisis, the fight against the PROMESA law and the junta appointed by President Obama that currently controls the island’s politics and economy, the uprisings against pro-statehood former Puerto Rican governor Ricardo Rosselló in 2019, and the re-awakening of anti-colonialist politics on the island. A must-see primer on the current state of the island, Dávila’s film surveys the youthful energy undergirding new propositions for a de-colonized Puerto Rico. Subtitled in English.

Con humor y profundidad emocional, el trabajo de Dávila captura la respuesta de la comunidad al huracán María y la crisis de deuda en la isla, la lucha contra la ley PROMESA y la junta nombrada por el presidente Obama que actualmente controla la política y la economía de la isla, los levantamientos contra el exgobernador de Puerto Rico Ricardo Rosselló en 2019, y el resurgimiento de política anti-colonialista en la isla. La película de Dávila, una introducción imperdible al estado actual de la isla, examina la energía juvenil que sustenta las nuevas propuestas para un Puerto Rico descolonizado
