Photographer Chris Gregory-Rivera examines the legacy of the surveillance files known in Puerto Rico as las carpetas — produced from a decades-long secret government program aimed at fracturing the pro-independence movement. Gregory-Rivera looks at las carpetas through the story of one activist family, the traitor they believed was close to them, and the betrayal that holds more mystery than they realize.

Chris' photographs and photos the police took as part of their surveillance are here.

If you're in the New York area, you can see his show at the Abrons Art Center until March 14, 2021. 

The documentary "Las Carpetas" is here.
