How To Love A Place So The Children Will Love Their Land

The voices of artist, poet, and archaeologist Estebán Valdés and Lares-born, self-identified indigenous countrywoman Pluma Bárbara carry us through the interior landscapes of Puerto Rico, sharing oral histories, ancestral knowledge, memories, and thoughts about how we create consciousness around our cultural identity. The film brings to the forefront histories about women who are bearers of great knowledge, innovation, and creation, along with moments of darkness that visually represent our gaps in knowledge due to racially and politically motivated erasure.
