Thank you for this documentary Rocco. I was born in Puerto Rico but I grew up in the Lower West Side of Buffalo also. It was awesome seeing people I grew up with and shared in the Buffalonian Puerto Rican experience. Grasias de corazon ❤💪🇵🇷

[andrewreillo]

Love our culture & its people!

As the daughter of a Puerto Rican mother I was searching for historical documentaries and books for information. I stumbled upon this video and was taken by the Doctors presenting the information and historical video footage. I'm glad I was able to see it.

I am a child of Puerto Rican immigrants and I was born in New York city. I loved this documentary a s I am trying to learn more about my culture and the history of the islands people.
Thank you so much for posting this it was enlightening. Que viva Puerto Rico mi isla del encanto.

Crudos to Prof Martínez Fernández for honoring the real dreamers of the Munoz Era, people that loved their island without looking to get rich. The reality of the times I grew up! Thanks!

[DivinetouchBoricua]

To all who is researching your Puerto Rican heritage please do your own research. Many people whether intentional or not will mislead you when it comes to our history.

[JuanitaTorres-ei]

Thanks God for The Island of Lamb my identity ❤

[iceman]

In Puerto Rico all of my families lived usually past one hundred years and a few in their 80’s departed due to Spain starvation. Very few went a few years to school and all grew, harvested and husbanding healing own life, ground, and animals exceeding any education given, or bought today. Many still had long tendons on forearms like ancient aboriginals. They knew where the primary, secondary and terciaria families lived, and all three names and who escaped the killings throughout the coffee mountains. They had deep unwaning true family love for their own. They did every need by hand.

Im Mexican Boricua and white and the culture of all three is beautiful being mixed may be hard for some people finding there identity but what we all share is being proud

[tantig]

My family has intermarried throughout the Caribbean.
The Bomba is PR
Tambu is Curaçao
Kumina is JA
Etc etc etc
Mother Africa throughout the Caribe gave us the drums with dance.
It is different from island to island.
Same with the food.
Root soup from Jamaica is similar, and I say again similar, to SanCocho.

To all my Caribbean ppl please do a little “island hopping” and embrace your sisters and brothers and their “cultura único”❤

[RubenPerez-bh]

I must say, that Puerto Rico is not the Puerto Rico I knew. So, for that girl to say that the bomba is part of Haiti or Dominica Republic she has to do research. Puerto Rico is so mix that many non- Puerto Rican identified themselves as Puerto Ricans. I do not have a problem with that but I do have a problem to say that bomba is Domican or Haitian culture she's damn wrong. I was born in Puerto Rico but I learn about plena and bomba here in the mainland. What I remembered as a little girl was la Danza and la musica jibara. I love Puerto Rico but is like a main city in the main land al mixed up with different ppl and culture, please real Puerto Ricans preserve our OWN CULTURE, don't get it confused with other cultures. Keep it real!

[SebastianReyes-Perez]

Libre! No matter how much we have to fight

[jolierodriguez]

I’m not finished with the DOC but i’m not happy with what this guy is saying. Luis Marin, arrested his own people. It did whatever the US government wanted him to do. Puerto Rico should have been giving the chance tu rule itself & move forward without all the injustices the US has done to the land and its people.

[luispacheco]

Impressive Doc. Soy Independentista but, Its the Economy that will determine our futuro. You left out how the "jones act" is Suffocating our key to become a Beautiful/Strong Nation. Somos Un Pueblo, tenemos una Cultural, ¡Somos Una NACION! - Coincidentally born in Chicago, but even if born on the moon - Amor Boriken. 🩵🇵🇷

[MusicloverX]

Puerto Rican and Italian? That is really good food from both sides! 🤤

[fredericovega]

Let's not forget "the doctrine of discovery" that Christopher Columbus brought to us

[mildredacosta]

UsA use PR as Laboratory for theirs business

[guayames]

Martinez is rigjt. We have kept divided for more than 500 years by Spain and the USA and do with us what they pleased. Keep us fighting!
