| Summary |
In 1898, the United States invaded and colonized Puerto Rico as part of the Spanish American War. For 114 years the people of Puerto Rico have maintained a polarizing debate on the status issue that has been front and center of the political discourse on the island: statehood, independence, or commonwealth. In 2012, filmmaker Juan Agustin Mrquez traveled back to his homeland and interviewed leading politicians, historians, sociologists, and economists to dissect the debate in a conversation about the pros and cons of each option |
