His daughter and grandson live there, so he was worried when the hurricane struck in 2017. After the storm, the Miami Dade College history professor started noticing displaced Puerto Rican students pop up in his classes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vazquez-Hernandez wanted to do something to help. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI thought about something visual because the storm had been so visual,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vazquez-Hernandez joined forces with Homestead Campus professors Susan Lichtman and Jairo Ledesma and retired professor Magdalena Lamarre, who is also Puerto Rican, to film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forging New Lives After Hurricane Maria: Puerto Rican Student Voices, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a documentary featuring displaced students at MDC. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The professors recruited about a dozen students to transcribe interviews, edit video and film the project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey\u2019re majoring in this field, TV, digital production, but to see them get so involved, and they&#8217;re not getting paid, and this is not being done for a class,\u201d Lamarre said. \u00a0\u201cThey\u2019re benefitting from it greatly, but this is being done just for that interest. It&#8217;s good to see them grow and see how they&#8217;re putting their heart into it and how I think they&#8217;ve been impacted by the interviews<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because they&#8217;re listening. They&#8217;re interviewing them.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of those students is Daniel Ponce. He was in Lichtman\u2019s speech class this past spring semester when he heard about the documentary. Ponce is now the director of photography, logistics lead and editor for the documentary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s been fun. It\u2019s been a lot of pressure. A lot of time conflicts but we have been getting it done,\u201d Ponce said. \u201cIt\u2019s very emotional. It\u2019s very touching to hear the stories, to see them cry, especially during the interviews It\u2019s been an emotional ride.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filming started in the spring semester. The crew received a community project grant of $4,670 from the Florida Humanities Council to fund the work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are interviewing them to record their stories, to record their experiences, find out about not only what it was like going through the hurricane, surviving the hurricane, but learning more about what went into their decisions to come to the mainland to continue their studies and so forth,\u201d Lichtman said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An eight-to-ten minute excerpt will be released for Hispanic Heritage Month on Oct. 30 at Homestead Campus from 12:40 p.m. to 1:55 p.m. in Room F-222. The full documentary will be released in early 2019 and shown during various community screenings. Raw interview footage will also be archived at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolfsonarchives.info\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives<\/span><\/a> at Wolfson Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe experience of talking to these young people about the hurricane is always a tear-jerker\u2014even the cameraman is crying, the person doing the interview, the interviewee\u2014because it was devastating,\u201d Vazquez-Hernandez said. \u201cFor those of us who live here you have some idea, but this hurricane in part destroyed practically the whole island. Their stories are really, really tough to listen to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hurricane Maria hit close to home for Victor Vazquez-Hernandez.
