Bmore Boricuas (dir. May Santiago, 2025, Baltimore, 5 min., work in progress)
Bmore Boricuas is a work-in-progress short film directed by May Santiago that documents the community-driven archival work of Tola’s Room, a Puerto Rican home museum and cultural space in Baltimore City. The film follows the Bmore Boricuas Project, an initiative launched in 2021 to document and celebrate the histories of Baltimore’s Puerto Rican diaspora—from the 1800s to the present—through oral histories, personal artifacts, and creative expression. Bmore Boricuas offers a powerful reflection on migration, identity, and the enduring legacy of Puerto Ricans in Baltimore, using storytelling as a means of both preserving history and honoring the contributions of Baltimore’s Boricua community.
