Puerto Rico's financial oversight board has voted to extend a contract with LUMA Energy — the private U.S.-Canadian corporation that took over the island's power grid and is widely denounced by residents on the island for its inconsistent service and high prices. The privatization of Puerto Rico's power grid, supported by an unelected board appointed by the U.S. government, represents the "everyday consequences of colonialism," says independent reporter Bianca Graulau, whose latest documentary is called "País de Apagones," or "Country of Blackouts."
