Join us for a special intimate evening of culture, film, history, and food with Internationally Award-Winning filmmaker and native Virgin Islander, Johanna Bermúdez-Ruiz.
Experience watching the U.S. Congressional featured award-nominated documentary film, “Sugar Pathways”, directed by Bermúdez-Ruiz. This prestigious documentary film, “Sugar Pathways”, is narrated by actress, Luna Lauren Vélez, of the Emmy award-winning TV show, “Dexter” and “Across the Spider-Verse”. “Sugar Pathways”, tells the story of nearly 100 years of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands’ families coming together in love, food, politics, music, and community.
Accompanying this event will be an enjoyable cultural three-course dinner prepared by Ms. Bermúdez-Ruiz’s sister who is an award-winning Crucian-Rican Chef Wanda Bermúdez-Belardo, to be held at her new establishment. Local Chef Bermúdez-Belardo will prepare a menu inspired by the documentary film’s featured cultural food, history, and family. Guests will experience a dinner paired with selective wines and a warm talk with the filmmaker, Ms. Bermúdez-Ruiz.
