La pintura mural de Rafael Ríos Rey

Rafael Ríos Rey painted more than 40 large murals in Puerto Rico, many of them in important public buildings. This documentary showcases some of his murals, which captured the peasant fiestas, the carnival, the gathering of coffee beans, the sugar cane harvest, the local Ponce traditions, and cockfights.

Directed by David Moscoso, La pintura mural de Rafael Ríos Rey leans on a strong ensemble — Cordelia González — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
