Using educational, touristic and military media/artifacts from the United States alongside contemporary voices, images and sounds from Puerto Rico, EL SIGNO VACÍO (the empty sign) is a feature-length cinematic essay interrogating the 123-year US occupation of Puerto Rico to reveal how US democratic narratives effectively obscure her capitalist/military domination.
