Loosely based on Lolita Lebron, the Puerto Rican nationalist who led an attack on the U.S. House of Representatives in 1954 to draw attention to the cause of independence for her island home. Contains short video and audio samples of West Side Story, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Wizard of Oz, Silence of The Lambs, and Rebecca directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It also contains war and protest footage, and newsreels of Lotila Lebron's arrest. Costumes are modeled after the suit Lolita Lebron was wearing during the attack, military gear, and American fashion in the 1950's.
