![Haydee Beltran Interview by Pilar](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Political prisoner Haydee Beltran is interviewed about her roles and values as a woman in the Puerto Rican Independence struggle. Equality, freedom, and dignity are her main concepts when involving men and women in the struggle. Imperialistic powers that take advantage of Puerto Rico need to be fought by both men and women. When the government caught their organization, both men and women were captured. This shows that both sexes were equally involved in the resistance. Pilar also explains their position in referring themselves as a POW. With a long history of the US and PR at war, the US always attempts to remove anti-capitalist/imperialist opposition. As a result, organizations are forced to become clandestine movements. The tape ends with Pilar explaining their recent hunger strike for Alfredo Mendez.
