For Those to Come
Co-Director, Editor, DP & Producer
For Those To Come takes on the task of unearthing the fight and strategies of communities combating the climate crises that threaten the livelihood of the people living in Puerto Rico. This documentary project is as much of a love letter, as it is a wake-up call, for Puerto Rico y su gente. While the wrath of climate change and political infrastructures attempts to cast a shadow over the islands’ future, solutions-driven and people centered projects and advocacy campaigns – often led by women - continue transcending any government intervention or systems.
This story is driven by the narratives of people that embody a historic practice of resistance in their work. Hernaliz, Marissa and Anabella are a few of a long list of women that are leading examples of the spirit of those living in the archipelago: a testament to their ancestors and history; a refusal to be victims of circumstance. Instead, these women are fierce protectors confronting government neglect, displacement and, ultimately, US imperialism and colonialism.
