WATCH: Bronx Filmmaker’s Documentary on Hurricane Maria’s Aftermath to Debut on Netflix This Month

Bronx filmmaker and cinematographer Nadia Hallgren’s 37-minute short documentary, After Maria, premieres on Netflix this week

After Maria follows three Puerto Rican women and their families after Hurricane Maria as they struggle to get their lives back after the catastrophic storm that left thousands dead, something exacerbated by the Trump administration’s abysmal response to the disaster.

The women are living in a FEMA hotel in The Bronx, and are just a few of thousands that were scattered across the mainland after Maria hit.
