This is a really fun to watch documentary. Rosie, her sister and their cousin, from the "whiter", "richer" and recognized side of the family, had obviously a blast doing this film. I think that the film was well directed with the story flowing from beginning to end. This documentary offers a little history of the island of Puerto Rico and the immigrants of the 1950s to mainly New York and New Jersey. It shows how many of the Puerto Rican immigrants swap slumps in Puerto Rico for slumps in the Big Apple. It shows how they were taken advantage of in factories and farms in US and in Vieques in Puerto Rico. But it also tells the story of a proud people that celebrates its traditions and cherishes its background. Celebration and pride summarized when people in the Puerto Rican parade sing, "Yo soy boricua, pa' que tu lo sepas" ("I'm boricua, just so you know.")
