Full Plot Details

In 1898, the United States invaded and colonized Puerto Rico as part of the Spanish American War. For over a century 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. Puerto Ricans (American citizens since 1917) constantly dispute between the options of Statehood, Independence and Commonwealth. On November 6, 2012 the people of Puerto Rico held the fourth plebiscite in the Island's history to try to redefine the political relationship with the United States. Weeks before the plebiscite vote, filmmaker Juan Agustín Márquez traveled back to his homeland and interviewed leading politicians, historians, sociologists, and economists to dissect the status debate in a multi-layered conversation about the pros and cons of each option on the ballot. His mission: To explain the status debate to the people of the United States, Congress and the President, and bring the American people up to date on this century old question: Will there be a change in status in America's Last Colony?

User Review - 10/10 by Charlotte SFantastic documentary. If you want to learn more about Puerto Rico's history and current political position in light of the recent devastating Hurricane, this is the first place to go. Watch and learn. You will not be disappointed.
User Review - 8/10 by Peter IAn informative, ballanced presentation of the complexities of Puerto Rico's legal status. A must see for any U.S. citizen who wants to understand the issues at hand and why this is important to us all and not just the island's inhabitants.
