Colonization Is Extinction

About This Movie

So, 'Colonization Is Extinction' dives deep into Puerto Rico's tangled history with the U.S. It's one of those documentaries that really hits you with its rawness. The pacing feels almost like a slow burn, letting the weight of the economic crisis settle in your bones. It tackles some heavy themes—like the sterilization of women and the environmental disasters in Vieques—with such stark honesty. The footage is quite striking, capturing both the beauty and the scars of the island. It's not just about the facts; it's about the people, their stories, and the potential for a long-lasting underclass. Makes you think about how history shapes lives, and that’s what sets it apart, really.
