The roots and deeper cost of femicide.

Femicide or Feminicidio plagues not only Mexico and Latino cultures and countries but is an epidemic that affects the entire planet.  Rodrigo Occelli and his team tackle this subject in their new film "Me Mataron 3 Veces" a documentary that focuses on the root causes and the unintended and deeper consequences of this issue.  We got a chance to speak to their team including Alex Montes and Sandra De Silva about the making of the doc which focuses on 3 siblings and their extended and life long trauma after the death of their mother.  After this serious conversation we switch themes and try to focus on some less serious things.Rosa Parra our entertainment correspondent gives us her impressions on the Barbie Trailer as well as some entertaiment talk and we also dive into some hellscape watch and tabs. Thanks for listening and make sure u are following @vetafilms to follow the doc as well as @rosasreviews
