The award-winning films produced in rural communities in the 1950s and 60s by Puerto Rico’s Division of Community Education embody a utopian vision of the new country. But the filmmakers, and the generation they mirrored, could not have known how difficult realizing this future would be. 

Todo Parecía Posible (Everything Seemed Possible) interweaves director Rivera-Moret’s family story with the vital and poetic narratives of the Division’s films. They reflect his grandparents' generation's urgent desire to build the country anew.
