What people are saying

"Filiberto details this transition and paints a remarkable picture of a lesser-known political figure… The film uses interviews, wiretapped conversations, and surveillance footage to paint a man who genuinely became emblematic of an entire country’s armed struggle."

Kevin Hall

Video Librarian

A well-produced educational piece about one of the most important figures in Puerto Rican history.

Fico Cangiano

Rotten Tomatoes

"I’m very appreciative that this film was made, because Filiberto is a historical figure of Puerto Rico that should be recognized.”

Conatz

The Coldest Zine

"Such a celebration of life, of bravery, of sacrifice, of humanity in the wake of tragedy. He embodied not only hope for victory, but certainty of it. Freedom not as a dream, but an inevitability."

Adrian

Letterboxd

"Puerto Rican filmmaker Freddy Marrero Alfonso spent 12 years putting together “Filiberto,” which was judged best documentary by the Havana Film Festival in New York. Ojeda was a brilliant trumpet player, as is demonstrated by archival sound recordings Marrero located. But he was foremost a nationalist and Independentista. He became involved in the movement while working as a musician in New York in the 1950s."
