The '60s, Part III

The last part of the '60s presents events very similar to ones we are seeing today in Puerto Rico. One of them is the student's strike. Back then, a lot of protests and movements happened. They were against the war in Vietnam. There is one part of the movie when people break-in in protest into a University in. There is an ongoing strike or student movement in the UPR where students make themselves heard. They protest against the administration's injustice and the government's injustice, too. They defend the country and stand up for what they believe in. It is very important that people express their opinions about situations. If they don't, then things will always remain the same and other's can do whatever they want if they control the situation. Every injustice in the world needs people to stand up against them. If people don't fight, then positive change is never going to come. Of course, there are some extremists who, like in the movie, takes things to dangerous extents. In the movie, Kenny makes a homemade bomb as part of the fight against the government. Here in the strike there have been some situations in which extreme action was taken. For example, the attack on Ana Guadalupe. What happened that day greatly affected the student movement.
