Resiliencia

The film follows the journey of NY-born Puerto Rican social justice musician Taina Asili as she travels across Puerto Rico to have intimate conversations with four women artists and activists (Dylcia Pagan, Marta Rodriguez, Yasmin Hernandez and Esperanza Martel) about their experiences during and after the hurricanes. The film documents the natural and unnatural devastation to the island and its people, while lifting up the resilience, creativity, and strength of the Puerto Rican nation and the human spirit. Resiliencia was filmed and edited by Gaetano Vaccaro, with an original score by Taina Asili. This film is not available online, but Taina Asili will be offering screenings and performances around the nation. To book a screening of the film at a place near you contact info@tainaasili.com
