El Cimarron is a Puerto Rican historical drama directed by Ivan Ortiz. The film follows the lives of two young lovers, Marcos (Pedro Telemaco), and his beloved Carolina (Dolores Pedro Torriente). Happily living together in their native Africa, the two are suddenly stolen away by slavers. After a horrific ship ride across the Atlantic, the two are taken to a distant Caribbean island, where they are sold to be slaves to the cold-hearted and cruel Don Pablo (Fernando Allende). The film then covers Marcos' strength through this terrible ordeal. He tries on several occasions to escape away from the torturous hand of Don Pablo, while still being a steady rock and source of comfort for his love, Carolina. In order to run away from this new life thrust upon him, Marcos must learn from the wisdom of other slaves, and fight hard to free not only himself, but his love.moreless
