- Summary:
- This award-winning short film highlights the rich history and vibrant present of New York's acclaimed Nuyorican Poets' Cafe. Featuring veteran/founding poets like Miguel Algarin and Pedro Pietri, the film also showcases a new generation of wordsmiths, featuring Willie Perdomo and Carmen Bardeguez-Brown and includes poetry reading in the raucous cafe's open mic night and stylized renditions of iconic poems like Pedro Pietri's "Puerto Rican Obituary." Puerto Rican cultural and literary traditions are explored, as is the unlikely mentorship of a young Willie Perdomo by a school custodian into the world of poetry.
