La Brega tells stories of the Puerto Rican experience.

In Season 3 of La Brega, we’re bringing you stories of Puerto Rico’s champions. We’re going to go to the ballfields and cultural battlegrounds where carrying the flag takes on even more meaning. We’ll meet fighters who have represented us in courtrooms and in boxing rings, and icons who have worn Puerto Rico on their sashes and their jerseys. We’re going to ask: what do we learn about Puerto Ricanness by spending time with our champions? 

La Brega cuenta las historias de la experiencia boricua.

En esta tercera temporada, te contamos las historias de personas y símbolos que representan a Puerto Rico. Iremos a los parques y campos de batalla culturales donde llevar la bandera significa algo más. Conoceremos a campeones y campeonas que nos han representado desde los cuadriláteros hasta los tribunales y que han llevado el nombre de Puerto Rico en sus cintos y camisetas. 

Vamos a explorar qué aprendemos sobre la puertorriqueñidad cuando conocemos mejor a nuestros campeones y nuestras campeonas.
