LANDFALL
A film by Cecilia Aldarondo
(USA, 2020, 94 min. In Spanish and English with English subtitles)

Through shard-like glimpses of everyday life in post-Hurricane María Puerto Rico, Landfall is a cautionary tale for our times. Set against the backdrop of protests that toppled the governor in 2019, the film offers a prismatic portrait of collective trauma and resistance as Puerto Ricans navigate dismantled social services and newcomers eager to profit. A co-production of POV and ITVS, in association with Latino Public Broadcasting. Official Selection, Tribeca Film Festival.

Premieres Monday, July 12 on POV
Available to stream through Wednesday August 11 on pov.org
