TO ARRANGE A PRESENTATION OF THE BORINQUENEERS FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION Contact us at contact@borinqueneers.com to schedule a screening at your institution or organization. The Borinqueneers is instrumental in celebrating the richness of cultural heritage and pride in our citizen soldiers. Many organizations have found the film most helpful for use in diversity training programs which value the contributions of people from diverse backgrounds. The film prompts discussions to challenge assumptions and stereotypes with topics such as discrimination, race and citizenship and serves as an example of how to build a more inclusive climate in our society.
We can customize the presentation to meet your special needs and can incorporate screenings with photographic exhibits to make it visually exciting and informative. Special events are ideal for Hispanic Heritage Month, Puerto Rican Discovery Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, etc. or any other time.
