ABOUT THE FILM Psiquis: A Decolonial Turn is a powerful documentary that explores the psychological impact of colonialism on the Puerto Rican people. Through the lens of activism and lived experience, the film opens a necessary conversation—one that examines the deep-rooted traumas shaped by colonial history, questions how collective thinking has been formed under oppression, and invites us to reflect on the systems that have influenced identity, culture, and consciousness. More than analysis, this film offers something sacred: tools for healing. It calls us into a space of awareness, where transformation is not only possible—but collective. POST-SCREENING CONVERSATION Stay with us after the screening for a community Q&A, where we’ll unpack themes of colonial trauma, identity, and pathways toward healing—together. ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Tito Román Rivera (San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1981) is a filmmaker, activist, and community leader whose work bridges storytelling and social transformation. His work spans across Puerto Rico, the U.S., and Latin America, with notable films including El Antillano and #AyotzinapaEnMí. With Psiquis: A Decolonial Turn, he continues his commitment to exploring political consciousness, cultural identity, and liberation through film. WHY THIS MATTERS A space to sit with the stories we’ve inherited—and imagine what it means to rewrite them.
