ABOUT THE MOVIE:
The "La Manplesa" documentary film is an experimental feature documentary about the 1991 Mount Pleasant Uprisings in Washington DC, told largely through the voice of poetry and Salvadoran American poets here in DC.
“With its mix of individuals’ testimonies, music, spoken word, and sketched out drawings, La Manplesa blends different forms of art to create a masterful film. The energy and community that the film brought was amazing to watch and experience.”
—Karina Galiano, Public Programs Coordinator at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
