Director Victor Cruz speaks on his short film 'La Operacion'

Examiner speaks to Victor Cruz on his "La Operacion (The Operation)," a short 15 minute film he directed on the sterilization of Puerto Rican women during the 1940s.

The synopsis of Victor's film is based on a bill passed in 1937, which allowed the sterilization of women on the island and the decision one woman makes on whether to go ahead with the procedure.

"La Operacion" is now part of the lineup of short program playing at the New York International Latino Film Festival in Manhattan.
