I saw the film for the first time in IFC last night, actually I caught it in the middle and I missed the whole beginning, it definitely caught my attention! I just HAD to see it again, It replayed at 1AM (I am usually in bed by 11PM) so I stayed up to watch again. I was born in Rosie's home town of Aguadilla, Came to the US (Bushwick Brooklyn) at the age of 1 and was raised in NYC. I was never aware of the sacrifices that my mother went through to provide for six children in a city that was completely unfamiliar to her. I was really never aware of the struggles that our grandparent & great grandparents went through to survive life & raise a family, We should worship the ground our loving parents walk on, the atrocities that were presented to our people on the island was also news to me, it has made me want to research & inform myself our culture at the museums Rosie visited. Great Job Rosie!! I can't wait to enlighten my family and friends with your film. It actually was a moving experience that made me re-think & re-visit who we are as a people... You have changed me as a person.... Jose'
