Frida Kahlo and Emiliano Zapata think Trump is full of shit. But how should Mexico deal with the orange gringo?

About this episode

In the pilot episode of "Viva Mexico," Frida Kahlo, the celebrated painter known for her vivid self-portraits, and Emiliano Zapata, the storied Mexican revolutionary leader, engage in a spirited dialogue about the socio-political dynamics between Mexico and the United States. As they explore the implications of a presidency like Donald Trump's, they delve into themes of nationalism, identity, and resistance. Kahlo, with her sharp wit and unyielding spirit, brings a female perspective to the discussion, while Zapata seems ready to starts World War 3 in order to defend Mexico's honor.
