Made by first-time filmmaker John James, <em>Siempre, Luis<\/em> is a portrait of Luis A. Miranda Jr., a Puerto Rican migrant who helped shape New York politics for over three decades. When he\u00a0left Puerto Rico for New York City in the 1970s, he had big dreams, but little did he know how far he\u2019d go.<\/p>\n<p>His devotion to family and country propelled him forward. Following the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, he helped plan relief efforts and managed the logistics behind bringing his son\u2019s award-winning production of <em>Hamilton<\/em> to the island.<\/p>\n<p>Endeavor Content financed the film and negotiated the deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first film started as the story of a tireless migrant who built an extraordinary legacy,\u201d said James. \u201cYet, as I followed Luis Miranda over a lengthy period of time, I couldn\u2019t have imagined that he would see his native Puerto Rico face catastrophic crisis just as our mainland is thrown into bitter political upheaval. We\u2019re excited to find a passionate partner in HBO to share this inspiring story.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO has acquired worldwide television and streaming rights to the documentary feature film Siempre, Luis, which chronicles the life of the father of award-winning playwright and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":14064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[263,4669,4670],"class_list":["post-14063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hbo","tag-john-james","tag-siempre-luis","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HBO Picks Up Siempre, Luis Doc - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hbo-picks-up-siempre-luis-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HBO Picks Up Siempre, Luis Doc - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"HBO has acquired worldwide television and streaming rights to the documentary feature film Siempre, Luis, which chronicles the life of the father of award-winning playwright and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hbo-picks-up-siempre-luis-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-02-03T15:24:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/HBO-Logo-719.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"359\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hbo-picks-up-siempre-luis-doc\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hbo-picks-up-siempre-luis-doc\/\",\"name\":\"HBO Picks Up Siempre, Luis Doc - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-03T15:24:11+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-02-03T15:24:11+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hbo-picks-up-siempre-luis-doc\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hbo-picks-up-siempre-luis-doc\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/hbo-picks-up-siempre-luis-doc\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"HBO Picks Up Siempre, Luis Doc\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
