There is a growing interest in making War Against All Puerto Ricans into a movie.
This might be the right time…so that the world can see the history of Puerto Rico, and see how the US has treated it, for the past 117 years.
The true information about Puerto Rico never gets reported…so perhaps the way to fight the dictatorship of a “Financial Control Board,” is with a movie that shows the real history of our island.
The filming of the movie would help our young people to re-discover their own history.
They would be excited that Benicio Del Toro, Jimmy Smits, Rosario Dawson, Rosie Perez, Zoe Saldana, Hector Elizondo, Braulio Castillo Jr., Ruben Blades, Joaquin Phoenix, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Bruno Mars, Esai Morales, Andy Garcia and other great talents, might be portraying the heroes and villains of Puerto Rico.
The movie could premiere at the Cannes and Toronto film festivals: to let the whole world understand, the struggles and sacrifice of our people.
Pedro Albizu Campos is a major historical figure: in the same realm as Simón Bolívar, José Martí, and Nelson Mandela. It is time that his story is finally told.
The movie will focus on the life of Don Pedro, and his struggle to liberate Puerto Rico.
The people of the United States – and the whole world – need to understand Pedro Albizu Campos: what he lived, sacrificed, and died for.
If you agree with this, please leave a message here. Your message will be seen by film agents in Los Angeles and New York, who are discussing the possibility of a War Against All Puerto Ricans movie.
While you’re at it, here is a partial cast list for the movie. Who do you think should portray these characters? Who should direct the movie? What songs, and what musicians, should contribute to the soundtrack? Please let us know.

If anything, the book is clear on one point and that is that we are Puerto Rican (period). If anything you clearly point that we can stand on our own as proven through the wars (but not just war only, but in so many other diverse fields). So why not honor our heroes as Puerto Rican heroes (period). We need not add “American” to those words of glory “Puerto Rican heroes”. We are our own people, with our own culture, beliefs, ways of being and our own nation. We are not them. We shine on our own and through our own merits. There is no need to think that we are inferior and better ourselves by adding the word “American” onto the glory that is the Puerto Rican hero.

We always was looked at as an inferior race where by the time of these events the KKK was in the White House and the White House was all white and the mentality then was radical and discriminating. All the old laws and rules have not change till this day and we have paid a higher price. The freedom that the United States and the free world enjoy today we fought for it shoulder to shoulder in Central Europe, the pacific, Vietnam and Korea. We deserve the freedom, and complete right to be treated with much dignity.

Now that I see there is interest I would love to be able to act in it since I am an actress from Puerto Rico. I would also suggest filming everything here on the island and hiering all local talents and local crews as Puertorricans need the work/exposure, after all it is our story. Maybe even suggesting that isntead of a tax exempt, that they just give any residuals or some insentives to our education programs, agriculture ext… What better way to bring this story to light than to actually hire all actors from PR. I love this book and I am very passionate about our history as many.

But in the end their intentions have never been towards our best welfare that is why we are in our dire situation today plus the sellouts in the political seats and their agendas. Hopefully one day we can see an independent Puerto Rico living a sovereign life as it should have from the beginning and we can regain a little back of what was stolen from us as people and even more as Boricuas…

Se interesó mucho y me dijo que con un buen libreto no tendría problema en hacerla.

Una Historia como esta debe de incluir la verdad de la vivencia del pueblo Puertorriqueño de la época. no remontarse solo a la ciudad o estar en el escenario de interior todo el tiempo. Es muy sabido que los Puertorriqueños eran la mescla de tres razas la Española. India y Africana. Don Albizus era parte de esa mescla de razas. Que durante ese tiempo los grandes intereses dominaban y esclavizaban a todos por igual amenos que fueran de la esfera alta y bien conocido. El fue a la primera guerra mundial con el ejercito de los Estados Unidos. Estudio Derecho en Boston EU. Conoció gente importantes y vio otros lugares es por eso que a su regreso a Puerto Rico y al ver el trato desigual a los isleño el trata de instruir al Pueblo de que le estaba aconteciendo. Los lugareños era esclavizados y mal pagados. Los Puertorriqueños y eran fáciles de identificar, pues por su pobreza no lucían a la moda, no solían tener buen calzado o ropa nueva. Este fue lo que calo hondo en el sentimiento de Don Albizu y ese sentimiento, ese menos precio que tuvieron los invasores Americanos al Pueblo conquistado y saqueado. La película debe de comenzar con la invasión americana a PR o por lo menos hacer una grafica de esa invasión y el posterior saqueo de la Isla. Es sabido Que el Grito de lares del 23 de Septiembre del 1868 fue un fracaso, pero sus lideres (Don Ramón Emeterio Bátanse y Sr.Manuel Rojas De Venezuela) establecieron su posición antes España. Pero en realidad es el sentimiento tan profundo que surge en Don. Albizus al ver a su pueblo esclavizado. La historia es una de nunca terminara.

Es hora de mostrarle al mundo como una de las últimas colonias del mundo y a merced del Imperio que actualmente es el más poderoso del mundo ha sido tratado, mancillado, cambiado y oprimido. Perro Albizu Campos fue torturado y humillado por defender lo que ellos mismos proclaman: La Libertad

So many don’t know the struggle and sacrifice that our people have made. I was ignorant of it myself, until I went to college in 1987. I was enlightened by my fellow classmates involved in student government.
I fell in love with Albizo Campos and what he stood for. I remember telling my mother I wanted to be part of a revolution, to free my people on the island…and she would say, “Muchacha tu estas loca. You will be killed!” She recalled my grandfather going to underground meetings of the Nationalist party. You could be killed if you were part of such a group. She said it was a very scary time for our people.
PLEASE make the movie. I would love to be part of it, even as an extra!

I heard of the book early in the year. I also read Professor Ferrao’s accusations at Diálogo UPR that this book had a errors and Denis agreeing to release a revised version at the end of the year, so I waited until it was published to get it. I have only read the first chapter and I have to admit, it is a great, very revealing and the references are extensive and based on fact. A movie would DEFINITELY get this information to mainstream media. It would be very appreciated, though, to avoid the so called “movie magic”. Make it as legit to the book as possible, not just based on it. And yes, seeing puertorrican actors like Benicio del Toro play him would be amazing. He already played Che Guevara beautifully. It would be an honor for him to play Albizu. Let his story be told!

¡Ya es tiempo! His existence has been marginalized in history. He was a soldier, a lawyer, a patriot and a loyal leader to his cause. He gave his life in exchange for not abandoning his love of a small island and its people. Puerto Ricans deserve to have this man’s life take its rightful place in history, regardless of any political philosophical difference between them. Because until that time Puerto Rico and its people will also find their place in history marginalized.

The Puertorrican has in his collective memory many United States historical films, but none depicting its own history. Many puertorricans (about half) also live in poverty and are victims of very inadequte schooling. The combination of both these factors results in a cultural defficiency in PR with regard to our history and to the lack of local historical films .
The figure of Pedro Albizu Campos is seen negatively due to a history of demonization of the independence movement. The gag law was an antidemocratic act that exemplifies that demonization. Thus this movie can change the average perception of puertorricans with regard to Don Albizu towards one that is more accurate.

Oh but please allow me to correct myself. We do vote for the puppet we send to Washington every four years. He has no vote, so he’s really representing his upper class. And please, don’t produce a film like Cerro Maravilla which for the most part portrayed Boricuas as naive, unintelligent and plebeyos. Boricuas are very proud and resourceful people. We have been under US influence for over 100 years. Yet we have maintained our vernacular and our traditions. Mind you that I’m saying we have been over 107 years under the most influential country in the free world. I by the way I disagree with our great writer Abelardo Diaz Alfaro “el Josco ” still lives. He is at the bottom of “El Farallon” waiting for a new generation to uplift him. He did not commit suicide as a cop out to not have to deal with Anglo Saxon culture.

Puerto Rican women were the first to use the birth control pill, it was provided by the pharmaceutical company for free in order to keep the birth rate down. Witnessing long lines of methadone programs for those on heroin so they can kick their habits. Did they? These programs are still implemented, what have they accomplished to help them? Also, keeping our people suppressed from getting a job or attending universities, the Welfare dept in PR going door to door, offering enrollment for food stamps and cash aid to young mothers and grandmothers… So, yes, I am and we are, READY for this movie! Our forefathers, such as Dr. Ramon Betances, Oscar Collazo, Lolita Lebron, Don Pedro Albizu Campos and Rafael Cancel Miranda have giving themselves to the cause during the fifties to make our lives better. Let their work be shown on silver screen.

That would be such a wonderful gift to our Puerto Rican community and those who don’t really know what happened in those times. I think that even Marc Anthony could play Albizu. the talented people chosen are a great compilation of actors.

This is a must of a movie. I urge all in the project to make this movie. It would educate those unfamiliar with this great man of wisdom, and how he fought to galvanize our great history and the mistreatment of American politics, as well as the exploitation of Capitalism that still persist even at the present moment.

Long overdue. Maybe, once it is released, some Americans will understand that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, and its people, citizens by force; along with the undeniable truths and injustices that have plagued our relationship with the U.S. It will take more than a two hour movie to delve into the whole story. I pray you go through with it , and portray it accurately. No bells and whistles needed, not overly dramatized, as the story will speak for itself. I also support the list of artists that will/might be part of the cast.

I have always been a Puerto Rico history buff. Unfortunately, much of what I learned in school is traditional and conventional history, where we are taught to laud the merits of a Luis Muñoz Marin and despise the antics of revolutionaries such as Don Pedro. I think it is of the utmost importance that we send the message of the real history of Puerto Rico. With over 5 million Puerto Ricans in the diaspora and the 3.5 here on the island, I have no doubt that this movie would be a commercial success. It is a story of human nature and I don’t see why it would not be attractive to other sectors of society, particularly if you get together a stellar cast of Puerto Rican actors who have made it big in Hollywood. I visualize a Lin Manuel Miranda or a Benito del Toro as Don Pedro in a similar scope as we saw him do Che Guevarra. Jeniffer Lopez can perform as Laura Meneses.

On November 28, 2015 I attended a presentation called “DESPIERTA” choreographed by a young man who I only caught his first name Justin and is a member of the Church of Crist in Harlem NYC. This was the first time I had heard of Pedro Albizu Campus and of his fight. After leaving that gathering, I have never felt so proud being a Puerto Rican. The below clip on youtube was the young man’s invitation to his gathering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_hJAk_HKDRM

“War” as a movie would be exceptional! I have no doubt Nelson’s vision would create a fast paced yet insightful look at Puerto Rico in the early and mid-20th Century. It would also be an essential tool to educate our masses who were not able to purchase a book but are more easily accessible via film. I personally think Albizu should be played by an unknown, someone from the stage, who can fully capture the energy and emotion of Don Pedro.

About Time someone made a movie based on Puerto Rico colonial struggle in hands of the u.s..& I’ve always said that a movie on the story of Don Pedro Albizu Campos should be made. Now the person to play Albizu has to be someone with features like Jimmy Smits or Esai Morales & probably someone like actor Carlos Esteban Fonseca or Luis Guzman could play Don Gilberto Concepción de Gracias & Roselyn Sanchez would be good to play Laura Meneses

Yessss this is a MUST! Honestly Hollywood, its a NO BRAINER! This needs to be exposed! Don’t forget there is lots of talent in PR, so some local actors will do it justice…It is also important to use world renowned actors (obviously) to draw the masses and Americans to watch and learn this history…Benicio del Toro, Amaury Nolasco, Jeimy Osorio, Zoe Saldana, Marc Anthony, etc. Not sure about musicians other than Marc Anthony and Ricky Martin…it may take from the seriousness of this tragic event that is part cause for wast happening right now in the island. This movie will be the voice of millions of Puerto Ricans and also opressed people by the US governent…Wish you the best Denis! Gracias por escribir este libro!

I go to the movies to see films that are important to me, so I don’t go every month, but I sure would run to see “War Against All Puerto Ricans.” Please make sure it has at least 1 “anchor” song like “My Heart Will Go On” was to “Titanic”. Try to get Jennifer Lopez in for a major role, preferably as an advocate, but perhaps as an instigator! Good luck with this great idea. I would pay $13 to see this movie.

Deben enfatizar los logros de Albizu y el PN tras la huelga de 1933-34. De ahi es donde nace la gran persecución a los independentistas puertorriqueños. Luego, la revuelta de 1950…la cual los propositos principales eran denunciar la condición colonial de Puerto Rico ante el mundo y que E. U. no considerara anexarnos, como eventualmente hizo con Alaska y Hawaii. Tambien las consecuencias que tuvieron que pagar los nacionalistas en la cárcel de La Princesa.

Is making “War Against All Puerto Ricans” a good idea? No, it is a great idea!!! What better homage to pay to the Puerto Rican experience than to bring this book to the big screen? Puerto Ricans have been under served even though we have been a part of the American nation ever since we helped her during the Revolutionary War era. Our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, friends and neighbors have all aided, contributed, and help build the great nation that has igmored us. We do not look to right past wrongs against our antecedents, we look to be regarded as equals in the modern world. Our pride in our heritage should be enough to convince anyone to make a film about a man who’s name is still spoken with awe and reverence. Don Pedro’s legacy needs to be shared with the world at large to further show everyone how mankind’s great contributors will always rise to the surface regardless of the outcomes.

This should be an easy discussion.

Todays financial crises in the island makes this a timely and long overdue about this misunderstood and mischaracterized leader who stands among the other Latin American greats.

Saludos Sr. Nelson Denis
Antes que nada quisiera felicitarle por el éxito que ha estado teniendo con su libro Guerra Contra Todos Los Puertorriqueños, pero también darle las gracias por su labor por la justicia histórica en nuestro país. Es evidente que ya llegaron los tiempos de reivindicar la figura de el maestro Albizu Campos y ubicarlo en el lugar que le corresponde en la historia de nuestro pueblo, y en la historia de la patria grande: como el último de los libertadores de Nuestra Ámerica.
Quisiera proponerle para interpretar la egregia figura de Albizu Campos en la película que se está considerando hacer al actor Teófilo Torres. Aquí en Puerto Rico él hizo unos monólogos basados en los discursos de Albizu publicados en el libro La Palabra Como Delito de Ivonne Acosta. Yo logré verlo en varias ocaciones y le puedo decir que aquí en Puerto Rico no hay un actor más capacitado para interpretar la figura de Albizu Campos con la proyección y veracidad que requiere el personaje.
Le deseo mucha salud y que siga abriendo camino “con machete en mano”, para la libertad de nuestro pueblo.
¡Felicidades!

As I read this powerful book I was overcome with anger to what was done to our people and what is being done to our people now. I was already filled with pride for being Boricua this book solidified my pride a hundred times over. I always felt a disconnect to my beautiful country because I was born stateside and our people lacked the true history of our people. This book has opened my eyes to the reality of our people as it tells the rich history, the heroes, the warriors, and the atrocities that our people have gone through and how it affects us today. This powerful book has prompted me to learn more about our history. ¡Despierta, Boricua¡ “El yanqui cree que cuando el ser humano se depriva del bollo de pan, se rinde, se humillará y se dejará ser pateado.” -Albizu Campos
