Few Puerto Ricans know that the most arrogant and self-centered nation in the world needed the help of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 to gain their independence. Soldiers from Puerto Rico, under the command of Bernardo de Galvez governor of Louisiana, fought for the American Revolution for the independence of the 13 American colonies, and they also fought at Bunker Hill. The 4th of July should be celebrated to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 QUE VIVA LA REPUBLICA DE PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷
Under the command of Bernardo de Gálvez, soldiers from Puerto Rico played a significant role in the American Revolution. Bernardo de Gálvez, the governor of Spanish Louisiana, led a diverse force that included Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics. His troops captured key British-held cities such as Baton Rouge, Mobile, and Pensacola ¹ ². However, there is no historical evidence to suggest that Puerto Rican soldiers fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775, and was primarily fought by New England colonial militia against British forces³. Bernardo de Gálvez's involvement in the American Revolution began in 1779 when Spain entered the war against Britain⁴. So, while Puerto Rican soldiers did contribute significantly to the American Revolution under Gálvez's command, they did not participate in the Battle of Bunker Hill.

1779?! THATS FASCINATING HISTORY! I DID NOT KNOW! BUT AM GLAD I SAW THE FEMALE SCIENTIST WHO WORKED FOR 10 years finding the DNA( difficult in a Tropical land that the Island of Puerto Rico and its people date back to 3000 BC!! And that led me to this story from 1934-VERY WELL MADE!! For a Ten minute short. I think the main character made the Correct decision. And now after reading many comments, I now know how the people feel-wanting to be their Own entity! And more comments, led me here to 1779!! IT IS True for me -I’ve Never known of Puerto Rico fighting in later American Revolution-I DID KNOW IT WAS considered a World War; & I confess I am still learning about its many aspects. I BELIEVE TRUE HISTORY IS IMPORTANT ! Sadly many do not and then those who care are OVERSHADOWED by those who don’t!
As a family of Puerto Rico I love the true history: I have a school book of the history of Puerto Rico and how it became a Commonwealth and not a state. What an island and the people with so much rich history. This happened during the time my great and grand parents were alive: my mom would sit with us and tell us the history. Thanking GOD ALMIGHTY for HIS intervention.
Puerto Rico no se vende, a quien, super ignorante Awilda? Si PR es parte de USA. España le cedió la isla a USA en 1898 para dar fin a la guerra hispanoamericana. Pero si a los traficantes de drogas ilegales yoleros que la han inundado de drogas y ociosos. De esos no hablas porque posiblemente eres una de ellos o te beneficias de lo que venden. Me imagino tu familia n unca ha trabajado en fabricas ni tu, de que han vivido? Porque todas las fabricas de la isla son de EEUU. Bola de ignorantes, hipócritas ratas, la mayoria vive en USA.
This was made 2 years ago. And 2 years ago I made the decision to come to PR to study at my mother's alma mater. I would be for the first time learning about the island I was born in but didn't have the opportunity to grow up in. The culture, the history, my family and friends. I've learned so much and the island has grown near and dear to my heart like never before. Definitivamente, Puerto Rico no se vende.

More! We need more! Would definitely watch the film if you decided to make a documentary. Those 10 minutes of watching it on screen meant so much to those of us who know the story of Pedro Albizu Campos and Puerto Rico. Well done.
@LisiLiz You are so right. This is the precursor of a string of events that lasted well into the 50s 60s and some will say 70s and 80s. From the Nationalists, Macheteros. What I find brilliant is the choice to focus on the negotiation part a) and b) Albizu's faith. Some, not much in my opinion, is written or talked about. Albizu was a man of faith (a Catholic). I wonder how much that played into the movement as the "liberation" fronts of the time turned to Marxism (thinking of the rest of Latin America).
My dream one day is to produce a feature-length or miniseries about Don Pedro. However, since that will require many resources and to be frank, more clout as a filmmaker... I hope you consider checking out my feature film when it eventually premieres this year and support it! My first feature film, "The Ladder," is the full-length adaptation of another short film on my channel you can check out of the same name. Either way, I will continue working toward my dreams of "Valor & Sacrifice" at the scale I envision :)
As a life long student of my hero, Doctor Pedro Albizu Campos, I love this! Especially the interaction between Albizu and his darling Laura! My new play, "Independence or Death", We focus on their relationship. In our 2005 Commemoration we also focused on a similar decision. And in my film "I Believe in America" we focused on the movement Post Albizu. All I can say to you Mr. Torres is ..."Bravo!" Congratulatuons and continue on this beautiful journey of enlightening the world about the Father of my beloved Puerto Rico!!

Crazy to think how politician have changed. Albizu had some much love for his country that he refused to sell it while the current politicians of Puerto Rico sell it little by little... Wow.
I was in Ponce Puerto Rico came to the states when I was 5 (1984) had to learn our rich complex history through the book called war against all Puerto ricans by Nelson Antonio Denis to learn the truth wish my familia told me
Don Pedro Albizu Campos a man of true integrity that stuck by his convictions, we have to admire that. “ Puerto Rico no se vende” those of you who want Statehood and want to sell out our Island remember that. I admired this man .Puerto Rico te amó siempre 🇵🇷🩷👍🏼
From viewer’s perspective, brilliant acting, script and cinematography. Love the way you set the mood with lighting. From a historical perspective, this is a monumental part of our history that needs to be told. Hope you consider making a full-length movie.
As an American Puerto Rican I remember going up and listening to the older people from Puerto Rico living in the US talking about how they didn’t want Puerto Rico to become a star in the US flag.
Luis Munos Marin o vendio como lechon de a peso. Albizu vio a donde ese negocio nos iva a llevar como nación y no nos vendió. los resultados de LMM los estamos viviendo nosotros hoy día.
I love it! I do wish he would’ve been portrayed as a black man. Most folks don’t know he was black and I think it’s an important part of the conversation that is rarely ever addressed. He didn’t even see himself as black until he lived in the US. Same as myself. My grandpa was a black man whose identity I never even thought about. Now that I am older, I appreciate his black identity and the struggles he endured due to such and how that same struggle propelled him towards greatness.
@ he was black. I’m a mixed person from Puerto Rico. My grandpa was a black man. And so was Albizu. I understand the nuance as I didn’t see myself as a mixed race person growing up in PR. But, once I moved the states, I learned to get in touch with my black ancestry. It’s a good thing that we tend to leave out of our bios. Race isn’t the same thing on the island as it is on the contiguous US. Here, we would have way more power in numbers if we understood that we are all one. I am 24% black, 15% Taino, and the rest is European. I love all of my sides. Blanca, Negra y Taína.🥰🇵🇷 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Albizu_Campos Look at the second picture. He black. And that’s not a bad thing. Even in black and white pictures, you can see it. We are not our skin color, but it’s an intricate part of us that shouldn’t be invisible. 🫥
I don’t understand why when telling our history of how the United States government treated our ancestors, that the stories/documentary’s are so short. We have watched movies about Che, Chavez, when is Hollywood going to tell our story! Excellent short piece you did, wish it was longer!
There are so many interests betting on not telling our true story. Inside and outside the island. For example, PPD cannot let their base know that their party was originally composed and fighting for the island’s independence. But Muñoz sold his soul to the US established and betrayed Albizu. That’s when all the persecution against independence started. Not from the PNP, but from Muñoz.
Nowadays Puerto Rico is facing a truly historical moment. People are tired and sick of the ups and downs of the traditional leading political parties which have done nothing but pilfering the countries budgets and hampering real progress. But new alternatives are surging, including going back to using coalition movements, a practice that had not been used for over a century in Puerto Rican politics. Youngsters are taking the lead in facing the current political issues and offering new insights and hope to the political scene, turning their backs on the traditional and archaic parties with their old-fashioned and disinformed ideas and giving their support to a new breed of young but well-educated leaders. I sure hope this short film serves as an inspirational device to bolster that new hope. A full-length movie on the subject, with such high quality of cinematography and excellent acting is urgently needed, in order to capitalize in this new political and cultural renaissance.
Espectacular!! Very good actors and tight script. Leaves me thirsting for more. If you keep these actors you can make a full feature film. Te felicito! Keep it up. Godspeed. ✊🏽
Writing another comment. I must say this was the best short film 🎥 ive think ive ever watched. Thank you so much. Today im in puerto rico saw my great grandfathers grave w the nationalist flag wavering over his site. (Look it up all black flag with a white looming cross) - nationalist flag. This has distilled a new found of life in me to know the real puerto rico and how i can make it better!!
No hace sentido que don pedro era negro y pongan a un blanco actuar de el es como poner a una rubia de ojos azules a representar tar a Celia cruz en una película 🤣
¡Me encantó… gracias por compartir, los felicito y que continue el éxito… Felicidades por tan buen trabajo de tan excelente calidad y gusto … una joya!
Thank you for this short, but impactful historical account that demonstrated the content of a man's character, and not the color of his skin. My great-great-uncle Rafael Martinez Nadal, who was the third Senator of Puerto Rico, fought for the same causes. God bless you for the work you're doing.🙏
Excelente producción. Siempre me he preguntado, ¿como hubiera cambiado nuestra historia si Don Pedro Albizu Campos se hubiera convertido en el primer gobernador de la isla? Con un hombre con la integridad, la inteligencia y capacidad de Don Pedro, ciertamente nuestra historia seria muy distinta al pillaje y la madeja de corrupción que nos ha arropado desde Luis Muñoz Marin.
How come I have never seen this short before? I am a proudly graduate of the first high school that bears his name. (Esc Superior Pedro Albizu Campos in Levittown, PR).
I love seeing important turning points in history brought to life, especially ones that aren't as well known as they should be. Great work! The story was very elegantly told.
Excellent film....I moved to this island last year from Philadelphia and I've been learning about it's history ever since and I love this island and it's people immensely..
Here after Bad Bunny’s release if DTmF. An awakening call for Puerto Rico’s youth to reclaim their island and fight with honor like Albizu did. Thank you for not letting him and his sacrifices be forgotten.
I've heard from many folks who were recommended my short film from Bad Bunny's. I am truly grateful, since he has released that awesome project my short film gained like 100,000 views!
Tantas historias hermosas de mi linda Isla Puerto Rico. Y ahora tenemos toda esta corrupción en la Isla! Me alegro de que Don Albizo Campos no esté vivo para ver esto! ¡Porque le hemos fallado!
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL ALBIZU CAMPOS & MY BELOVED 🇵🇷 . ALBIZU & I SHARE THE SAME BIRTHDAY 9/12. WHEREVER WE GO WE SHINE LIKE THE 1 STAR ON OUR PRECIOUS FLAG!
This MAN is a bigger hero than we will ever know. He helped Valero with the Irish Constitution and struggles for independence. Exposed plots of genocide against minorities. Made enemies of the establishment. Challenge the statues quote every chance he had.

What about Spain I like how y’all just let them off the hook
@@TheStefanp10This was after the First World War in the early 1930s if I'm not mistaken. The Spanish where here from 1493 to 1898.
There are so many interests betting on not telling our true story. Inside and outside the island. For example, PPD cannot let their base know that their party was originally composed and fighting for the island’s independence. But Muñoz sold his soul to the US established and betrayed Albizu. That’s when all the persecution against independence started. Not from the PNP, but from Muñoz.
Nowadays Puerto Rico is facing a truly historical moment. People are tired and sick of the ups and downs of the traditional leading political parties which have done nothing but pilfering the countries budgets and hampering real progress. But new alternatives are surging, including going back to using coalition movements, a practice that had not been used for over a century in Puerto Rican politics. Youngsters are taking the lead in facing the current political issues and offering new insights and hope to the political scene, turning their backs on the traditional and archaic parties with their old-fashioned and disinformed ideas and giving their support to a new breed of young but well-educated leaders. I sure hope this short film serves as an inspirational device to bolster that new hope. A full-length movie on the subject, with such high quality of cinematography and excellent acting is urgently needed, in order to capitalize in this new political and cultural renaissance.
Can we get a full bio pic please! Well done!
Nice short film. Acting was good. Nice introduction to history that isn't well known. Very professional.
We are losing the youth.. please bring back a documentary to represent this man who fought for our country Puerto Rico
This needs to be a movie!
Great short film. Needs to be a documentary on Albizu and his work fighting the oppression of U.S. colonialism on the people of Puerto Rico.
Que Viva Puerto Rico LIBRE
Long live our Freedom fighter Pedro Albuiz Campos
Excellent performances and great job on the overall production. Kudos! 👏
Amazing! Short, yet so powerful! ¡Maravilloso! ¡Corto, pero aún poderoso!
Espectacular!! Very good actors and tight script. Leaves me thirsting for more. If you keep these actors you can make a full feature film. Te felicito! Keep it up. Godspeed. ✊🏽
Libre Puerto Rico algun dia!!!!!!!! Viva mi isla del encanto mi Puerto Rico bella!!!!!!!!!!!!

Writing another comment. I must say this was the best short film 🎥 ive think ive ever watched. Thank you so much. Today im in puerto rico saw my great grandfathers grave w the nationalist flag wavering over his site. (Look it up all black flag with a white looming cross) - nationalist flag. This has distilled a new found of life in me to know the real puerto rico and how i can make it better!!
Simplemente Brillante; les Felicito; especialmente a mi Sobrino Josue Vera, no se detengan la verdad siempre es respaldada por Dios.
Para pelos 🙌🏻🇵🇷❤️🔥🔥

No hace sentido que don pedro era negro y pongan a un blanco actuar de el es como poner a una rubia de ojos azules a representar tar a Celia cruz en una película 🤣
@@mvaledon10 Pedro Albizu Campos was brown not black🤔Roberto Clemente was black
The people of PR need this now more than ever . RIP EL MAESTRO.
God bless Albizu Campos!!!
Great short film! Que viva Puert Rico Libre!
Great work dude! It had me in tears
This needs to be a movie. A story that needs to be known
Wow! This gave me goosebumps. My great grandfather was pedro albizu best friend and believed in his vision. Very rich history!
¡Me encantó… gracias por compartir, los felicito y que continue el éxito… Felicidades por tan buen trabajo de tan excelente calidad y gusto … una joya!
I'm proud to be Puerto Rican 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 viva puerto rico I love this film
Thank you for this short, but impactful historical account that demonstrated the content of a man's character, and not the color of his skin.
My great-great-uncle Rafael Martinez Nadal, who was the third Senator of Puerto Rico, fought for the same causes.
God bless you for the work you're doing.🙏
Bless you for being so kind
Que viva Puerto Rico libre del colonialismo
Excelente! bravo! now the full film
I just subbed. We need more of this. Puerto Ricans need to stand proud of their heritage.💪🗝️👑
Excelente producción. Siempre me he preguntado, ¿como hubiera cambiado nuestra historia si Don Pedro Albizu Campos se hubiera convertido en el primer gobernador de la isla? Con un hombre con la integridad, la inteligencia y capacidad de Don Pedro, ciertamente nuestra historia seria muy distinta al pillaje y la madeja de corrupción que nos ha arropado desde Luis Muñoz Marin.
Gracias Albizu Que Dios te tenga en la Gloria.
Gracias....para cuando van a realizar algo similar de Eugenio Maria de Hostos. Saludos desde Río Piedras, Puerto Rico...un abrazo respetuoso.
If only men of such integrity ran Washington DC.
I’m so glad I came across this video ❤ proud boricua right here !!
You are so kind thank you!
Love his PR pride!
Thank you for making this film 👏 👍 muchas gracias
How come I have never seen this short before? I am a proudly graduate of the first high school that bears his name. (Esc Superior Pedro Albizu Campos in Levittown, PR).
Por Agüeybana, Ramon, Pedro y todos los demas, batallaremos hasta recibir nuestra conquista! Viva un PUERTO RICO LIBRE!
PUERTO RICO SERA CONQUISTADO POR EL COMUNISMO SE SE VUELVE LIBRE. NO PODRA SUPERAR. 😢
I would love to see a full length biopic… this is amazing
Viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Libre
Art is a means of communication, it's used to assist in motivating the masses, to create changes socially and economically. 🔱🇵🇷🔱. Amor Boriken
This was awesome, you should make a movie of his whole life story
I love seeing important turning points in history brought to life, especially ones that aren't as well known as they should be. Great work! The story was very elegantly told.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent film....I moved to this island last year from Philadelphia and I've been learning about it's history ever since and I love this island and it's people immensely..
Love that!
You have to make the full movie
in addition to this film, Nelson Denis, book "a wat against all puertoricans is a must read.
Here after Bad Bunny’s release if DTmF. An awakening call for Puerto Rico’s youth to reclaim their island and fight with honor like Albizu did. Thank you for not letting him and his sacrifices be forgotten.
I've heard from many folks who were recommended my short film from Bad Bunny's. I am truly grateful, since he has released that awesome project my short film gained like 100,000 views!
Well done. 🇵🇷
Tantas historias hermosas de mi linda Isla Puerto Rico. Y ahora tenemos toda esta corrupción en la Isla! Me alegro de que Don Albizo Campos no esté vivo para ver esto!
¡Porque le hemos fallado!
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL ALBIZU CAMPOS & MY BELOVED 🇵🇷 . ALBIZU & I SHARE THE SAME BIRTHDAY 9/12. WHEREVER WE GO WE SHINE LIKE THE 1 STAR ON OUR PRECIOUS FLAG!
La palabras claves : RESPETO, RESISTENCIA Y LEALTAD.🇵🇷❤
This MAN is a bigger hero than we will ever know. He helped Valero with the Irish Constitution and struggles for independence. Exposed plots of genocide against minorities. Made enemies of the establishment. Challenge the statues quote every chance he had.
WoW muy bien pero quiero ver la pelicula completa , please is amazing !
Great piece of work
