Videology Presents Moving in Place: A Documentary About Puerto Rico’s Young Diaspora

Following last year’s Category 5 Hurricane María, decades of financial crisis, and over a century under US colonial rule, many Puerto Ricans are choosing to leave the island in search of seemingly better prospects. Migration projections for the coming years are startlingly high, and many of those leaving their homes in Puerto Rico are young, educated, and skilled — taking their talents and potential off of the island.
 
Moving In Place is a documentary film featuring Puerto Ricans in their 20s and 30s who share their experiences navigating life on and off the island. They unpack the complexities of Puerto Rican identity and loyalty – and the difficult decision of whether to stay or leave – especially in the devastating wake of Hurricane María.
Screening will be followed by a Q&A and discussion with filmmakers Lyka Sethi and Geoffrey Iwata
Tickets are $10 (redeemable for $2 off a drink at the bar) and can be purchased online at https://videologybarandcinema.com/event/conscientious-projections-moving-in-place/
