I am so upset. This is the first time I heard about this film. My daughter was up late last night watching it. I am trying everything in my power to see a copy of this wonderful film.
Rosie, gracia for this outstanding film.

Rosa
Thank You for the eye opener. I seen your film, and was amazed. There were so many things I did not know. I am very proud of being Puerto Rican yet, born in the Bronx N.Y. God bless you and once again Thank You for sharing all these facts about Puerto Rico.
As a Puerto Rican woman born in Caguas and raised in Chicago your film was informative and eye opening. My 76 year old Mom was also touched by your fortitude to make and share with the world a fraction of the flavor of our heritage.
Thank You
I'm so excited to see your documentary about Puerto Rico because I've heard so much about it, could you please tell me how I can purchase it?? In my soc. class I'm doing a report on Puerto Rico and I was told by my teacher that your documentary is so good and that I should see it.If there's anyway you could help me get my hands on it I'd truly appreciate it...Thanking You In Advance...
I didn't know anything about this film until I saw the dvd in a video store. After watching it I thought it was great. I'll agree, "yes Rosie has an eye for film making"
