Were proud to announce that our award-winning micro-budget film, The Response: How Puerto Ricans are Restoring Power to the People, will be premiering nationally in the United States this Wednesday, April 22 (4:00pm PT / 7:00pm ET)!

On the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, Shareable and Free Speech TV (FSTV) will host a special online simulcast of the film which will immediately be followed by a panel discussion about community-led disaster response, collective resilience, and mutual aid.

Register for this free event to secure your spot at the screening and panel discussion.

The 30-minute film explores how, in the wake of Hurricane Maria, a quiet revolution percolated on the island of Puerto Rico. What began as an impromptu community kitchen meant to help feed survivors in the town of Caguas quickly grew into an island-wide network of mutual aid centers (Centros de Apoyo Mutuo) with the ultimate goal to restore power both electric and civic to the people.

The panel after the film will be hosted by producer Tom Llewellyn (Shareable) and feature Susan Silber (NorCal Resilience Network), Tr Vasquez (Movement Generation), Juan C. Dvila (The Response film director), and Christine Nieves (co-founder of Proyecto Apoyo Mutuo Mariana).

The special will air on Free Speech TV (DISH 9415, DIRECTV 348, and stream on Roku, Apple TV, Sling TV, and at freespeech.org).

More information can be found on the FB event page and at shareable.net/the-response-film.
