What the Storms Taught Us

Examine the state of public schools in the U.S. Virgin Islands 7 years after back-to-back Category 5 Hurricanes Maria and Irma made landfall. Through interviews with local officials, educators, and students, the film outlines the daily challenges and crumbling infrastructure that students and educators face while billions of dollars in federal aid to rebuild remains out of reach.
