A MEXICAN PLAYWRIGHT RELUCTANTLY PARTICIPATING IN HOLLYWOOD

In our Season 7 premiere, Bernardo Cubría reflects on growing up between Mexico City and Houston in a fiercely Mexican household that resisted assimilation, discovering theater after a year in human rights activism, turning to satire to break away from narco stereotypes in American storytelling, writing authentically Latino stories on Acapulco (Apple TV), and why protecting your voice matters more than chasing the next job.
