DRILLS OF LIBERATION
In-Person Film & Talk with Juan Carlos Davila
November 17, 2022, 7:30 PM EST
Maysles Documentary Center, Harlem
After experiencing a ten-year economic crisis, and facing the perils of climate change, Puerto Ricans do not trust the State anymore. They take to the streets to demand accountability from the government, and organize autonomous community centers to ensure their survival as People of Puerto Rico.

In this epic documentary, young Puerto Ricans craft their path to liberation, as we see the faces of survival and resistance. The documentary film has an unique point of view from inside Puerto Rican social movements. The director captures a series of major historical events as they unfolded right at the front lines, including: the protests against an US appointed Fiscal Control Board, the aftermath of hurricane María, and the protests of Summer 2019.

Post-screening discussion with filmmaker Juan C. Dávila. Presented by Maysles Cinema and Third World Newsreel.
