“Once Upon A Time En El Barrio”

If you haven’t seen this film about the struggle of a Puerto Rican family in 1954, here is a chance to see it..You will really enjoy this film. Because it is positive and it truely deals with the issues of Today…Example, the young Man shot and killed in east Harlem Jayson “Jay Tirado, where are our people to protest this, Where is Al? You know who. When Latino Blood is shed.  That we should protest, the cop is walking around free! This movie deals with the abuse upon a Puerto Rican Family by Cops, in 1954, and the the struggles of Lolita Lebron.
