Judith Escalona’s THE KRUTCH at Brooklyn Indie House
THE KRUTCH
The surreal story about a Puerto Rican psychoanalyst with a long-suppressed identity problem that erupts with some dire consequences. The film is unique in exploring the mental anguish and shame associated with racism. Stylistically akin to Buñuel with an eye towards Godard, it occupies an absurdist space that keeps it from descending into the maudlin cliches of realism. With Jaime Sanchez as the mysterious Dr. Guzman and Cathy Haase as his unsuspecting patient Mrs. Kleist. The Krutch, b&w, 2004, 29 minutes.

Otra Locura/ Another crazy idea
From “Armando Pacheco”
Hello friends and family,
At Cabanas El Rucio we also deal with agriculture. At this moment we have hundreds of organic mangoes. WE don’t use chemicals of any kind to grow our fruits. We have an offer for all of you. We will send you by US Post Office priority mail a box full of mangoes for only $15. The box will take between 10 to 12 mangoes, depending on the size of the mangoes. We will package them on a bed of orange tree leafs that you may boil and drink as a tea. You will receive the mangoes in 3-4 days.
Once you pay the $15. at cabanaselrucio.com with a credit card we will send the fruit to you. WE have a Pay Pal account. It says eco-tour. For questions write to me or call me at 787 836-0633 or 347 581 1778.
You may place as many orders as you want to. You may send fruit to anybody in the United States.
Send me an email with the correct address of the person including zipcode.
Yours truly,
Armando Pacheco

The Borinqueneers
Friday, July 13, 6PM – 9:30PM
Newark Museum
49 Washington Street
Newark, NJ.
Reception and Q&A Session with the film’s producer Ms. Noemi Figueroa Soulet
This event is a fund-raiser for the New Jersey Hispanic Research and information Center (NJHRIC) at the Newark Public Library.
The Borinqueneers chronicles the story of the all-Puerto Rican 65th Infantry Regiment, the only Hispanic segregated unit in U.S. Army history. Using rare archival footage and intimate interviews, this film explores the exploits andpainful tribulations of these now-forgotten veterans. Risking their lives to further the cause of democracy, these soldiers from the U.S. colony of Puerto Rico, were drafted but were not afforded full citizenship rights. Many served and died valiantly. During the Korean War they would face their toughest challenge,.
ADMISSION IS FREE, BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT SEATING IS VERY LIMITED AND REQUIRES PRIOR RESERVATIONS.
To RSVP call Newark Museum at call (973) 596-6550 or email arquelio.1.fraticelli@verizon.com.
For more information, including directions to Newark Museum, visit www.newarkmuseum.org.
The museum is easily accessible from New York City.
It is 3 blocks from the NJ Path Station – Broad Street Station.
We hope you will be able to join us for a well-deserved and long-overdue recognition of the Puerto Rican 65th Regiment.
