The main cast also includes Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises, Captain Fantastic), Edward Norton (American History X, Birdman) and Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men).

The film marks the feature directorial debut of multihyphenate and 34-time Grammy and Latin Grammy Award-winning rapper René “Residente” Pérez Joglar.

Residente and Oscar-winning screenwriter Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman) co-wrote the screenplay.

“I have dreamed of making a film about my country since I was a child. Puerto Rico’s true history has always been surrounded by controversy,” Residente said. “This film is a reaffirmation of who we are — told with the intensity and honesty that our history deserves.”
