-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 P.Rico: The Spirit of Filiberto in NYC Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit The Spirit of Filiberto in NYC The one-year anniversary of the FBI buttbuttination of a Puerto Rican patriot is approaching. Commemorations of the life of Filiberto Ojeda Rios will take place here in NYC this month, as will an important screening of a new documentary regarding the remaining Puerto Rican political prisoners, directed by former POW Dyclia Pagan. FREE OUTDOOR SCREENING OF "FILIBERTO: ENTREVISTA CLANDESTINA" IN EL BARRIO NYC PROJECTED ON THE HANDBALL "FILIBERTO: ENTREVISTA CLANDESTINA" (Filiberto: Clandestine Interview) Comandante Filiberto Ojeda Rios was founder and leader of the Puerto Rican People's Army also known as the Macheteros. Comandante Filiberto fought tirelessly his whole life to end US colonial rule in Puerto Rico. On September 23rd of 2005, a national holiday celebrated and commemorated by Puerto Ricans in remembrance of a rebellion in 1868 against Spanish colonial rule, the US government buttbuttinated him in an attempt to kill the spirit of the Puerto Rican liberation struggle. "Filiberto: Entrevista Clandestina" is an interview Comandante Filiberto did with Puerto Rican reporter Daisy Sanchez. The interview was done while he was in hiding, a short while after cutting off an electronic ankle shackle placed on him while he awaited trial for his alleged involvement in the Macheteros Wells Fargo armored truck robbery of Hartford Connecticut. Filiberto speaks for himself and the Macheteros on the colonial issues that continue to plague the island nation of Puerto Rico to this day. The interview aired uncut on Puerto Rican television and was the most watched television program in the history of Puerto Rico. This film is an excerpted version of that television program.
