They live recklessly, vandalizing, stealing, and committing misdeeds throughout the town. Joodinni, along with his right hand Boe, a small masked girl who serves as his conscience, arrives with the purpose of guiding these children, as well as all the children and youth of Puerto Rico. However, a small but complicated setback causes his mission to be challenged by Maoro De La Cruz, a Puerto Rican entrepreneur who is bringing a group of foreigners to the island and buying dozens of residences throughout the town to take control and turn Lares into the main hub of the organized crime.

Entre el grito y la celda: Una historia sobre Lolita Lebrón

Oct 10, 2024

“Entre el grito y la celda” is a film adaptation of the theatrical monologue “Lolita", which has been performed locally and internationally for the past 11 years, with over 60 performances in 5 countries, 5 states in North America, and more than 40 municipalities in Puerto Rico. The story is set in late 1954, when political prisoner Lolita Lebrón had already been sentenced to 50 years in prison at the federal prison in Alderson, West Virginia, for leading an attack on the United States Congress. The film explores Lolita's life and patriotic thoughts through poetic language, intertwining her three most significant aspects: her fervent religiosity, her fight for justice from the perspective of a young woman and mother, and her patriotic bravery to risk her freedom for causes and values she firmly believed in. The movie highlights the themes of national identity and the struggles of a resilient woman who became, for many, the Mother of the Puerto Rican Nation.
