Black Beach/Horse/Camp/The Dead/Forces

Overview

Black Beach/Horse/Camp/The Dead/Forces was all shot in Vieques, Puerto Rico—an island that was used as a bombing range by the US Navy in Puerto Rico for 60 years, and that for the past 10 has been fighting for its decontamination. The film weaves together images of a man who cares for horses that roam the old target range; a black magnetite beach that is slowly eroding; an artist who has helped to resurrect a sacred tree which was once within the Navy’s gates and who has herself resurrected from illness more than once, a man who hopes his ritual movements return the island of Vieques to a cosmic balance—all of these are intertwined—land, toxic bomb, political work, celebration, and death.
