Filmmaker, photographer and anthropologist Á.I. Rivera documents the Puerto Rican perspective in the Midwest in an attempt to better understand the ambiguous, yet exclusively understood notion of what it means and/or what is Puerto Rican. In conjunction with the more colloquial marker of identification, Boricua, he set out to explore the notion of boricuaness (Puerto Ricaness). Boricua being a term used by the Boricuas/Tainos, a culturally compact term which Puerto Ricans use endearingly. This documentary focuses on real people and families of the Puerto Rican diaspora with stories about what identity means to them.
