We have always asked ourselves, “When will a film about Pedro Albizu Campos be produced?” It looks like the answer is on YouTube and Kickstarter.
Filmmaker Michael Torres has spent the last seven years gathering footage for “Who Is Albizu Campos?” and he is in the final leg of production. Now, Torres has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the final $27,000 to get this film completed. We think that this campaign is so important, that we are supporting it 100%. Here is a trailer of what Torres has to say about the film:

A feature length documentary on Puerto Rican revolutionary Pedro Albizu Campos.
How Your Contributions Will Be Used
The funds raised from this campaign will go directly to the final stage of production in which we will create the visual style of the film by assembling a team to produce the animated sequences of the film. These funds will also contribute to the editing of the film which begins when I return from Puerto Rico in December. Our goal is to raise $27,000 by midnight October 9th. Kickstarter only works if we reach our goal—If we don’t hit our target, we don’t get any of the money. Even $5 helps!

SI ALBIZU fue terrorista, todos los Puertoriquños deveriamos serlo tambien! si nuestra cultura todavia existe se lo debemos a martires como el……y si algun Boriqua esta en desacuerdo, no conoce la historia.de nuestra raza. Personas como el son necesarios en todas las culturas para que sobrevivan.
De acuerdo, pana. Ver a Romero Barceló decirlo es triste.
De acuerdo Julito,pero saber que existe Romero Barcelo es aun mas triste! Pero pasando a cosas mas inspiradoras, estuve escuchando las canciones de Fernando y me llena de orgullo saber que es Boricua dejame saber cuando salga el cd a la venta. o donde conseguirlo, se lo de I tune pero quizas por ser un viejo prefiero los cd*s Felizitaciones
