In examining the damage done to these two sectors of Puerto Rican society, these films share the personal stories of how everyday Puerto Ricans who are bearing the brunt of the burden of a debt held by high-profit hedge funds on Wall Street.
The series also takes a close look at these Wall Street "vulture funds," exposing their direct responsibility for the current situation in Puerto Rico as they pressure the Puerto Rican government to pay off its $72 Billion debt before providing vital services to the people of Puerto Rico. Each film highlights the men at the head of these funds and reveals the disastrous impact of their single-minded pursuit of profit.
