"Nuestro pedazo de tierra" is a student documentary from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM) that explores, through interviews with farmers, mutual aid organizers, and government officials, the severity of food insecurity in the Puerto Rican archipelago during and after Hurricane María. This inaugural documentary, produced by the Oral History Lab (OHL) and sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities, focuses on the ways in which layered disasters—interwoven within the context of a complex economic and political landscape—further eroded an already unstable local food system at both the production and agricultural distribution levels.
