District of Pupusas: Documentary Screening + Live Salsa Party
Watch District of Pupusas where it was filmed, at Haydee’s Restaurant, then dance to live salsa by Orquesta Manplesa.
Join us at Haydee’s Restaurant in Mount Pleasant for a screening of District of Pupusas, a short documentary about how Salvadoran civil war refugees shaped Washington, DC, through food and community. The film follows Chef Benjamín Velásquez and Haydee Vanegas, whose restaurant is one of its main settings.
After the film, stay for a Q&A with the filmmakers and a night of live salsa with Orquesta Manplesa, who composed original music for the film.
