Santiago Barbershop is a short documentary that explores a lively community of hardworking Dominican barbers and their diverse group clients. The film is an observation of men’s hairstyling in a Hispanic neighborhood in Somerville, MA. From the barber seat we observe costumers from a wide age range choosing style as a way to shape their identities and gender presentation. The musical choices of the barbers and the unique stories told by immigrants living and working in Boston during the Obama administration make the piece a cultural statement and a document of that particular period of time in the country.
