Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Puerto Rico's 'Estado Libre Asociado' status—literally 'Free Associated State'—is a linguistic trap that Fanon would clock immediately. The film unpacks how that euphemism lives in Boricua bones.
Rivera shot this during the 2019 protests that toppled Rosselló, capturing real-time decolonial energy. The footage you're watching? History being metabolized, not just documented.
