Meet The Filmmaker: The Borinqueneers

The Borinqueneers, a documentary film narrated by the acclaimed actor Hector Elizondo, chronicles the history of the all-Puerto Rican 65th Infantry Regiment, the only Hispanic-segregated unit in Army history and its significant participation during the Korean War.  This award-winning film has been presented nationally on PBS in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands; on the Armed Forces Network to more than 850,000 U.S. troops overseas; and is currently being shown on the Pentagon Channel.  Screenings have taken place nationally and internationally at film festivals, community organizations, universities, and in military installations.

A 60-minute question period with the filmmaker will follow the screening.
