Feature Film

WE STILL HERE (NOS TENEMOS) is a stunning social issues documentary which introduces the incredible youth of Comerío, Puerto Rico navigating the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, a disaster that brought an unprecedented level of devastation to an island already in economic and political crisis. In the lush mountains in the center of Puerto Rico, 24-year-old Mariangelie Ortiz leads a group of young residents who never thought they would become the leaders of their community, nonetheless find themselves traveling to Washington D.C. to protest in the halls of Congress. Follow them in this coming of age story to find their power and begin creating a sustainable future for themselves and their community.

Mt Baker Meaningful Movies, West Seattle Meaningful Movies, the Meaningful Movies High School Group and the Mt Baker Community Club are proud to cosponsor this Seattle Latino Film Festival event.
