Recreates the town meetings which were a staple of the DivEdCo project. True-life residents debate community priorities, in this case the advisability of building parks and roads before dealing with the severe health issues caused by the town’s water supply.

Documentary based on the films produced in Puerto Rico in the 1950s by the Division of Community Education (DivEdCo). Of the more than 112 films produced by DivEdCo, five films were selected for this project to reflect in an innovative way on the changes and transformations during the last 50 years in Puerto Rico.
