Self
Raúl Juliá: The World's a Stage es un retrato revelador del viaje del carismático e innovador actor desde su Puerto Rico natal hasta el semillero creativo de la ciudad de Nueva York de los sesenta y la prominencia en Broadway y Hollywood. Dirigida por Ben DeJesus, la película traza el viaje personal y profesional de Raúl, mostrando sus innovadoras actuaciones y su activismo humanitario. Antes de que la diversidad y la inclusión fueran parte de la conversación nacional, Raúl con su personalidad magnética y su carismático talento pudo acumular un cuerpo variado de trabajo atemporal que ayudó a allanar el camino para muchos actores latinos de hoy.
