  2. A side anedocte , this one told me by an elder Puerto Rican lady who lived in the island , and then migrated to Boston …. I asked her …. “Why Poor Puerto Ricans talk their Spanish so fast and choppy ? “ To which she replied me while tending her garden patch in lovely Jamaica Plain , Boston …. She owned her home a few blocks away , and this cute two decker rental for retirement income by the Forest Hills subway and train stop. The words being mine, but an exact account of how it went …. “ we poor Puerto Ricans worked the sugar cane fields at harvest time. Under a scorching sunshine. So it was in early in the wee hours of the morning before sunlight , and out early in the day for the break. “. And she added ….. “ we Puerto Ricans , being gregarious people, we live out banter. So we toiled and talk , toiled and talk. Real fast “. There is some wisdom of true into this. Puerto Ricans never stopped being quick on their feet and hustling. Even in America. Always snappy , and quick, and spontaneous and transparent. And quick to burst at times. And the colors they wear , always a standout, clashing . Bright. Screaming . Tacky but oh so exuberant. They are indeed an interesting bunch.

  4. The documentary follows your pattern for excellent editing, and story telling, and subject research . And I have done a lot of business with Boricuans ( Puerto Ricans ) to appreciate them enough. I know the grim aspect of the story calls for your soundtrack choice. But being about Puerto Rico, couldn’t you insert some Salsa Música somewhere ? Jeeez Johny.
