Companeros De Lucha

Playa Pal Pueblo is the name given to a small circle of tents on the beach in Carolina, Puerto Rico, where a handful of environmental activists have lived for six years to protest the development of a Marriott hotel. Companeros De Lucha documents how a ragtag group can come together and show how the power of the people can defeat a giant.

My take

A stirring testament to grassroots resistance and collective action. This is for anyone who believes ordinary people can take on powerful institutions—a film that sparks hope without being naive about the struggle.
