    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Fishbowl” showing April 11-16 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

    “The Fishbowl” is the first-ever Puerto Rican-produced film to be selected for Sundance, and it has played to critic and audience acclaim.

    Noelia, a 40-year-old Puerto Rican visual artist, discovers her cancer has metastasized after spending several years in remission. Despite the insistence of her partner, Jorge, she refuses to continue her treatment and decides to return to Vieques, the small Caribbean island east of Puerto Rico where she grew up and where her mother, Flora, lives.

    As her cancer spreads, Noelia ultimately decides to return to her native Vieques, Puerto Rico, and claim her freedom to decide her own fate in “The Fishbowl”.

    Once there, she keeps her cancer a secret in order to live freely and throws herself into the work she had dedicated herself to years before — denouncing pollution left by the U.S. Army after years of military exercises on the island. However, as Noelia’s health worsens and she joins her neighbors to secretly enter closed testing areas to document undetonated bombs and toxic remains, her struggle to survive and the struggle of Vieques to recover from decades of bomb testing become inextricably intertwined.

    When an approaching hurricane threatens the island and Noelia rekindles an old romance, she faces the decision to leave and seek treatment or stay with her community.

    “Striking. A thought-provoking meditation on the impact of the political on the personal, and on how women’s bodies become the battleground for men’s struggles.” — Screen International
