New York, NY —

The 65th Infantry was the only all Puerto Rican regiment in the history of the U-S military. The soldiers were known as The Borinqueneers. Tonight in the Bronx, the New York debut of a new film about the fabled regiment will take place at Hostos Community College in the Bronx. But as Brigid Bergin discovered, it's not a simple story to tell.
