A free film screening of THE BORINQUENEERS will take place at the Buffalo History Museum, 1 Museum Court, Buffalo, NY on Saturday, September 21, 2019 from 2:30 – 5:00pm.  Light Refreshments will be available.  The WNY Hispanic Heritage History panels will be on display.  This is free event honoring Hispanic Heritage Month.  The first showing of the film will begin at 2:30pm and a second showing will start at 3:45pm.  This event is sponsored by the Hispanic Heritage Council of Western New York, Inc. with support from the Buffalo History Museum.   Coincidentally, Filmmaker Noemi Figueroa Soulet was invited by the Council to participate and screen the film at the Buffalo Film Festival on exactly the same date, September 21, 2012.  It was a great turnout then and she still remembers the delicious buffalo wings she was treated to afterwards!  Attend if you can and learn about the Borinqueneers!
