About the Film
Through shard-like glimpses of everyday life in post-Hurricane María Puerto Rico, LANDFALL (dir. Cecilia Aldarondo) traces collective trauma and resistance in the wake of the devastating storm and exposes the island’s fraught colonial relationship with the United States. The world measured the historic hurricane in wind speeds and flood levels. But when the grid collapsed and relief stalled, it became clear that María had struck an island already in crisis, plagued by years of recession and a spiraling public debt that crippled the economy. As federal aid faltered, a new wave of investors arrived, revealing how Puerto Rico’s crisis also created opportunity for those who might seek to exploit it. Cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and other investors, drawn to favorable tax policies, came in search of profit.
