The Darkness” is an ethnographic documentary that captures the resilience of the ‘Alto de Cuba’ community in Puerto Rico as they confront disaster and darkness. Partnering with the grassroots organization ‘Casa Pueblo,’ they harness solar energy to restore power, protect their health, and reclaim their well-being. Through their journey, the community offers five powerful lessons on building a just and sustainable future. The film highlights their fight against governmental neglect and the privatization of Puerto Rico’s power grid, showing how collective action can ignite hope, power, and change in the face of crisis. Is this just about solar power, or is there more at hand?
