Raíces (Roots)

The sinking of a cargo ship serves as a warning for a Caribbean island, but hope flourishes in the fertile soil of resilience and unity. Raíces offers an intimate exploration of Puerto Rico’s pursuit of food sovereignty, considering the impact of colonialism and the efforts of grassroots movements to reduce dependence on imported food. From urban gardens revitalizing concrete landscapes to non-profit organizations promoting economic self-sufficiency, each initiative contributes to a shared goal of food sovereignty and empowerment.
