Landfall | FRAGMENTS AND MEMORIES

Through fragmented glimpses of daily life in post-Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico, LANDFALL is a sobering tale for our times. With the protests that ousted the governor of the U.S. colony in 2019 as a backdrop, the documentary offers a prismatic portrait of collective trauma and resilience. While the devastation of Maria attracted much media coverage, the world has paid little attention to the storm that preceded it: a $72 billion debt and fiscal crisis riddling Puerto Rico long before the winds and waters hit. LANDFALL examines the kinship between the two storms-one environmental, the other economic-juxtaposing rival utopian visions of recovery. Featuring intimate encounters with Puerto Ricans and newcomers to the island, LANDFALL reflects on a question of contemporary global relevance: when the world falls apart, who do we become?
