It’s been nearly two years since Hurricane Maria ripped through Puerto Rico, devastating thousands of homes, stripping families of electricity for months and killing nearly 3,000 people. Hallgren follows them as they are turned down by one housing department after another when they try to rent their own apartments in an already congested city, while also trying to renegotiate with FEMA about their lodging.

And they’re all grasping to find work as pressure from FEMA mounts. Director Nadia Hallgren (“Gavin Grimm vs.”) moves beyond the physical atrocities depicted in the news to reflect intimately on how these women’s lives were virtually destroyed by Maria, tracing their stories from the island to a Bronx hotel that FEMA provided them for temporary shelter. It was released on May 24, 2019 on Netflix streaming.. Netflix and third parties use cookies (why?).
