Laurel Largo Finalista 8 FICNOVA n

FICNOVA recognizes this film for highlighting the example of solidarity shown by a community that rallied against the injustice and discrimination perpetrated by the US Navy, which had been poisoning the island of Vieques (Puerto Rico) for decades. It is an example of overcoming fear, transforming a personal problem into a collective one.
