The Distorted Island: Heavy Metal and Community in Puerto Rico Trailer (2015)

"Heavy metal thrives in the least expected places..." 06 February 2015 Factual, Music 117 mins

Heavy metal music seems completely out of place in this setting when examined in the context of the island’s culture and history. Still, a local metal scene has existed during the past 30 years despite the challenges faced, and continues to thrive. How have they done it?

You will never see the Caribbean in the same way...
