Pan y Circo

Bread and Circus travels to Madrid to try to find an answer to a question equally uncomfortable for Latin America and Spain: why is the Conquest hailed as a symbol of glory for some, and as an unanswered grievance for others? The third special of the second season turns to and gathers a plurality of Spanish-American voices to talk about Discrimination in Spanish.

Chronicles of a pandemic. A conversation on Covid-19 and its repercussions, on how Mexico is coping with “Staying Home” and the strategies needed to emerge from the crisis.
