			Angel Jacobo Morales, Puerto Rico, 2007; 108m The most recent film by Jacobo Morales follows a professor and student leader whose political beliefs landed him in prison for 15 years in the ’80s, when people affiliated with Puerto Rico’s independence movement were repressed and persecuted. This poignant tale of one man’s will and determination to unveil the culprits who framed him and murdered his wife deftly interweaves intrigue, suspense and action while exploring the fine line that divides peace and violence, justice and injustice.

			What Happened to Santiago / Lo que le pasó a Santiago Jacobo Morales, Puerto Rico, 1989; 105m What Happened to Santiago marked a pivotal moment in Puerto Rican cinema. Its overwhelming critical and box-office success — followed by a nomination for an Oscar for best foreign language film — helped establish a unique Puerto Rican cultural identity. After 20 years it remains a classic, and its popularity hasn’t waned. Santiago Rodriguez, a 65-year-old accountant and widower, plunges into melancholy after he is forced to retire. During a walk in Old San Juan, he meets Angelina (an extraordinary Gladys Rodriguez), a distinguished and enigmatic younger woman who seems to reawaken his love of life. However, as his attachment grows, so does his puzzlement at her refusal to talk about her past, and before long Santiago hires a private detective to investigate who she really is.
