The Last Colony - Trailer 1

Published on May 9, 2013

In 1898, the United States colonized Puerto Rico as part of the Spanish American War.

For 114 years the people of Puerto Rico have maintained a
polarizing debate on the STATUS ISSUE that has been front and center of the political discourse on the Island. Puerto Ricans (American citizens since 1917) constantly
dispute between the options of Statehood, Independence and the current status known in the Island as E.L.A.

On November 6, 2012 the people of Puerto Rico held the fourth plebiscite in the Island's history to try to redefine the political relationship with the United States.

Weeks before the plebiscite vote, two-time EMMY Award winner Juan Agustín Márquez
traveled back to his homeland and interviewed leading politicians, historians, sociologists, and economists to dissect the status debate in a multilayered conversation about the pros and cons of each option on the ballot.

His mission: To explain the status debate to the people of the United States, Congress and the President, and bring the American people up to date on this century old question:

Will there be a change in status in America's Last Colony?

Surfing's best rides and wipeout awards held in California

Published on May 9, 2013

The best rides and wipeouts are honoured at the annual Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards ceremony. Hawaiian surfer Shane Dorian walked away with one of the sport's most-prized accolades, winning the Ride of the Year award for the monumental wave he successfully paddled into and surfed at Jaws, Maui, last October.

Dorian's feat edged out other Billabong XXL Ride of the Year nominees including Californian surfers Shawn Dollar, Greg Long and fellow Hawaiians Dave Wassel and Reef McIntosh who both surfed memorable waves during an historic swell in Fiji in June 2012. Report by Matt Blake.
