We learn about the colonial relationship between Puerto Rico and the US and Puerto Ricos struggle for independence. Isabel, spending approximately 12 years in prison, has become a revered symbol of colonial resistance in Puerto Rico. Her life is a testament to the islands unresolved conflict with political status, economic development, and a century-long struggle for independence.
