"THE BORINQUENEERS"
A DOCUMENTARY ON THE ALL-PUERTO RICAN 65TH INFANTRY REGIMENT
The crhc:film series returns in 2018 for a new season of films and discussions about issues that matter.
"The Borinqueneers" is the first major documentary to chronicle the story of the Puerto Rican 65th Infantry Regiment, the only all-Hispanic unit in U.S. Army history—exploring stories of courage, triumph and struggle through rare archival materials and compelling interviews with veterans, commanding officers and historians.
Narrated by Hector Elizondo, it reveals how the 65th Infantry Regiment served meritoriously in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, even as they faced discrimination within the Army.
This free film event and discussion is the first in our Spring 2018 crhc:film series.
