A short clip from "Zilia Sanchez - Soy Isla," the film played as part of the artist's career retrospective exhibition which debuted at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC before going to el Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico and el Museo del Barrio in New York City.

Filmed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the piece is an impressionistic look into the work and the spirit of the artist.

Director Martin Huberman conducted the interviews with the artist entirely in Spanish. In the final production, all of the artists's word are subtitle in English, while English speakers are subtitled in Spanish.
