The aftermath of Hurricane Maria left some 3.4 million residents of Puerto Rico without electricity, with nearly 90 percent of the island cut off from the power grid.

Narrated by actor and New Generation Latino Media co-founder John Leguizamo, the new Duracell-branded documentary spot from W+K New York called “Island Without Power” examines how this loss of electricity has impacted everyday life for residents of the island. Leguizamo’s narration explains that in the aftermath of the storm, “classrooms and hospitals are lit by flashlight,” and that without a generator, “batteries are one of the only ways to get power.”
