Featured Puerto Rican Heritage Month event

Film

Ángel
7 p.m. TONIGHT
El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue, NYC
Sponsored by: SEA in association with El Museo del Barrio
Admission: $5

The most recent film by Jacobo Morales follows a professor and student leader whose political beliefs landed him in prison for 15 years in the '80s, when people affiliated with Puerto Rico's independence movement were repressed and persecuted. This poignant tale of one man's will and determination to unveil the culprits who framed him and murdered his wife deftly interweaves intrigue, suspense and action while exploring the fine line that divides peace and violence, justice and injustice.

Ángel, will also be presented as part of BORIMIX: Puerto Rico Fest 2008 at the Hartford Public Library, CT, on Sunday, November 23rd at 2 p.m. For more information, www.hplct.org.

Editor's Note: November is Puerto Rican Heritage Month. Boricua, there is no excuse not to attend at least one Puerto Rican heritage event this month. Apoya lo nuestro.
