How To Love A Place So The Children Will Love Their Land
May. 13,2024The voices of artist, poet, and archaeologist Estebán Valdés and Lares-born, self-identified indigenous countrywoman Pluma Bárbara carry us through the interior landscapes of Puerto Rico, sharing oral histories, ancestral knowledge, memories, and thoughts about how we create consciousness around our cultural identity. The film brings to the forefront histories about women who are bearers of great knowledge, innovation, and creation, along with moments of darkness that visually represent our gaps in knowledge due to racially and politically motivated erasure.
Reviews
This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Excellent but underrated film
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
