The documentary Seva Vive [“Seva Lives”] examines the ensuing debate about such topics as Puerto Rico’s identity, culture, and history.

History tells us that the 1898 U.S. invasion of Puerto Rico occurred in June and from the south. The fictional short story, Seva, tells a different story, one of an invasion from the east that came a month earlier. A type of musical oral history known as a "copla" mirrors the fictional story.
