About The Event

the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo) In 1950, two determined Puerto Rican revolutionaries on a train from New York to Washington, D.C. discuss their plan to strike in the name of Puerto Rican independence. However, the lock to their compartment is broken, and each time the door swings open, they are interrupted by figures from art and history—visions that reflect what their homeland means to them and its complex relationship with the United States. As the borders of their reality blur and the train continues its journey, the two must finalize their course of action and decide how they want their sacrifice to be remembered.
