Why This Is Important
Growing up Puerto Rican and Salvadorian in a Mexican-filled California, I always felt a bit disconnected to my heritage. All that changed when I moved to New York. After hearing the stories of my Puerto Rican friends growing up in The Five Boroughs, I immediately found an interest in discovering more about my culture, specifically in Brujeria and Santeria. Something about the topic pulled me in and I knew I had to make a film about it, while also staying true to Witchcraft roots and not bastardize the culture. I spent a year researching the topic and Iām ready to share this story with the world.
