This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Juan Agustín Márquez is a well-known Puerto Rican Producer and Director of many Documentaries. He is a two-time Emmy Award winner whose films are based on social justice and education. Over a period of three years, he has produced and directed more than 120 films of Puerto Rico's top tourist attractions. His first feature length documentary, 100,000, based on Puerto Rico's overpopulation problem has won numerous awards.The film, The Last Colony by Juan Agustín Márquez, is a truly remarkable depiction of fighting for one's country. It exhibits the devotion and love that these citizens' have for what they believe their nation's status ought to be. Whether it should remain a commonwealth, receive its independence or acquire statehood. Juan captures this incredible experience from beginning to end and once again, has accomplished his goal and produced an authentic and riveting documentary.--Kristen Ross

Most people are not fully aware of the difficult situation that is of the utmost conflict within the Puerto Rican society: the current colonial status. Since 1898, when the US invaded and took Puerto Rico from Spain, the small Caribbean island has sustained incessant years of US domination over everything. The documentary will demonstrate the different outcomes that Puerto Rico may face in the near future: independence, statehood, or the same colonial status. Along the way, one will listen and interpret the different arguments that most local party leaders advocate, which includes past governors, representatives, secretary of state, etc; and also one will hear arguments from historians and important political figures involved in the US government. Being from Puerto Rico myself, I highly recommend to all the viewers out there to regard this film and tell us honestly what should Puerto Rico do to offer us a better future.
