A Luta Continua: Cinemas of Resistance
From Puerto Rican director Ivan Ortiz, El Cimarrón is a story about a young enslaved African couple at the turn of the nineteenth century on a Caribbean island. In spite of the cruelty and inhumanity of slavery, Marcos and Carolina’s love withstands these brutal conditions at the hands of Don Pablo, their greedy and malicious owner. Following the advice of a wise and older slave, Marcos escapes from the Don Pablo farm and returns to liberate his beloved Carolina.
