Excellent short film. This needs to be made into a full length historical biographical film.
Que Viva La Republica De Puerto Rico, Libertad Libertad Libertad !!!!!!!!
My mother, "Abuelita" Jean Wiley (Zwickel) was an aide to Don Pedro, learned Spanish from him and spoke on behalf of Puerto Rican independence before the United Nations Committee on Decolonization. My brother David Reuben was blessed by him. Her book, "Voices for Independence" was subtitled "In the Spirit of Valor and Sacrifice." Don Pedro, Abuelita Jean, ¡presents! -Daniel Beck Zwickel
Beautiful 😍🙏🏼
Such beautiful comment, hes my hero wish our island was independent hate how our people and island has and continues to be treated 😢
@@caribbeannativeson78 ¡Borinquen libre!
Que viva nuestro País y nuestra historia. ¡Gracias!
Mis padres conocieron personalmente a Albizu y era un hombre de gran integridad.
🇵🇷👍
De verdad que eso si fue un honor 🫡
His wife knew that he shouldn't make deals with the enemy and when he saw that he walked right out, great film
Unfortunately, I think that went above many peoples head. They don’t see enemy. To them it was just a strike. I’m sure most young people of today in Puerto Rico don’t know who he was.
We don’t
@@journeytothemosthigh5021the enemy is the US government still till this day and even at that time the US massacred our people at that time in the 1930s and to this day
Wepa.. Needs to be a full length film👏👏🇵🇷
Great short film. Hope you can make a full length film in the future
This needs to become a full length film!!
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.
Libre Puerto Rico algun dia!!!!!!!! Viva mi isla del encanto mi Puerto Rico bella!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!
Rest in Power and in Paradise Don Albizo Campos.
The world needs to hear how God worked in Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican youth of today should know their history. Thank you for this. God bless you all, God bless Torres productions, LLC
god? You do know that “god” came from colonization, right? This is a very tone-deaf statement and I hope you don’t think this way anymore.
LMFAO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@tytania3545could you explain to me what’s so funny about TheCuppycakedelight5’s comment??
@@Abel_GTx I laugh at anyone who believes in a SkyDaddy. There's no god and attributing anything to a delusion is ridiculous. What WE have achieved was because of OUR struggle, not some god.
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!!
Soy estudiante de cine en Puerto Rico y esto me impulsó. Gracias por darnos esta pieza audiovisualmente ❤️✊🏽
Gracias Boriken
Buena fotografía, buena actuación -comedida, sin exageraciones propias del teatro-. Mis felicitaciones.
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.
Excelente, necesitamos una pelicula de Don Pedro Albizu Campos como se ve aqui. El verdadero un hombre de principios y mucho valor y catolico.
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.
And just like that after this meeting Luis Muños Marin got the same offer and took it starting the mess that the island is in right now!!!
YES , THE MOTHER TOOK 150$ AND THEY GAVE HIM LA FORTALEZA.READ THE BOOK WAR ON ALL PUERTO RICAN.
Viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 libre!!!
Que Viva Puerto Rico LIBRE
Great film! I really liked all the emotions portrayed by the actors without speaking.
Can we get a full bio pic please! Well done!
Wao...esta fuerte...yo creo q con este video usted no ha dado identidad como boricuas orgullloso. Vive la patria 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Excellent performances and great job on the overall production. Kudos! 👏
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. ✊🏽
Amazing! Short, yet so powerful! ¡Maravilloso! ¡Corto, pero aún poderoso!
His wife was so wise!
Nice short film. Acting was good. Nice introduction to history that isn't well known. Very professional.
Lovely! So grateful that you have shared your talent with us!
Muy buena. Felicidades! Me encantaría conocer más sobre tus futuros proyectos. Felicidades!🇵🇷💯
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!
Hollywood doesn't care about you. They care about their commies.
Super👍Me encantó. Muy buena representación de nuestra historia. Good luck with your future projects.
🇵🇷💯
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
Great work dude! It had me in tears
Simplemente Brillante; les Felicito; especialmente a mi Sobrino Josue Vera, no se detengan la verdad siempre es respaldada por Dios.
Excelente. Felicidades a todos los que hicieron posible esta joya. Gracias por compartirla.
Puerto Rico libre y soberano!!
This needs to be a movie!
Excelente! bravo! now the full film
¡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!
Viva Puerto Rico Libre!!!! No Statehood!!!!
We need more of this. 10 minutes is not enough.
Thank you for making this film 👏 👍 muchas gracias
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.
Why haven't they made a movie of this man yet. Unbelievable 😮
Love his PR pride!
This needs to be a full length history film. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow! This gave me goosebumps. My great grandfather was pedro albizu best friend and believed in his vision. Very rich history!
in addition to this film, Nelson Denis, book "a wat against all puertoricans is a must read.
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 🇵🇷
Great short film! Que viva Puert Rico Libre!
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.
You have to make the full movie
I would love to see a full length biopic… this is amazing
Dude you must do the whole Don Pedro Albizus life story.
My Love, I don't need it, Puerto Rico needs it
Great cast and short film 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 🇵🇷
Well done. 🇵🇷
People need to know truth!! People of Puerto Rico need to know what really happens!!!
Gracias....para cuando van a realizar algo similar de Eugenio Maria de Hostos. Saludos desde Río Piedras, Puerto Rico...un abrazo respetuoso.
Great piece of work
I wish they would make a whole long movie about this story.
If only men of such integrity ran Washington DC.

Excelente. Gracias.
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!
Outstanding Congratulations for a Job well done!!!
Felicidades!!
Excellent short.
We need more of this!
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
WoW muy bien pero quiero ver la pelicula completa , please is amazing !
beautiful!
A production of this as a full length movie would be amazing !
Muy bien hecho-me encantó este cortometraje
Beautifully done!! Loved the story and cinematography, brother! 🎉
Art is a means of communication, it's used to assist in motivating the masses, to create changes socially and economically. 🔱🇵🇷🔱. Amor Boriken
Long live our Freedom fighter Pedro Albuiz Campos
Brutal!
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 🇵🇷🩷👍🏼
Sadly, PR is being sold off quickly to non-Puerto Ricans and there is nothing illegal about it but it is a tragedy for us. It will be another Hawaii in 50 years. I know a number of Puerto Rican kids born and raised here NYC. They go to DR and South Beach on vacations. The white folks from the flyover states stopping in Old San Juan know more about PR than our own people born in the states. It's a sad slow death of a beautiful culture.
We already are Hawaii, just without any of the benefits.
As long as one keeps embracing his enemy, the enemy will keep turning the knife in his back.
@@Reydotcom I agree but also think the native Hawaiians never benefitted from there home being invaded, outsiders did, same thing is going to happen to Puerto Rico, so sad that you have half of the population thinking that without aid they will not survive. Something that has been perpetuated for many years.
@@edwardrodriguez9077 WE CAN BE INDEPENDENT AND THRIVE!! INDEPENDENCE ALREADY!!!
We are losing the youth.. please bring back a documentary to represent this man who fought for our country Puerto Rico
Great!
Bravooooooo. ❤❤❤❤
Beautifully done
Bravo
The people of PR need this now more than ever . RIP EL MAESTRO.
Beautiful
Great acting!!!
MACHETE ArriBA mi Gente..simpre para alante...
Por Agüeybana, Ramon, Pedro y todos los demas, batallaremos hasta recibir nuestra conquista! Viva un PUERTO RICO LIBRE!
Pedro story needs to he told to the world! Thank you
Thank YOU for watching - my only goal
making this film was to hopefully make more people aware of such an important Puerto Rican hero!
is it only this or is this a longer film?
@@TorresProductionsLLC
This was awesome, you should make a movie of his whole life story
Gracias
Felicidades cousin!
Me crie al rededor de Hawaiianos mira lo que le an hecho a ellos en su tierra natal. PR juventud eduquence o siguiente generacion no tendran tierra
Make this short film into a full scale movie and millions of people will see it . Especially when you include in the movie what Dr. Cornelius Rhoads did when he injected cancer cells into many Boricuas including Dr Pedro Albizu campo .
