Host Ruben Navarrette has a timely and entertaining conversation with his friend and fellow Harvard graduate Marcela Davison Avilés. A Stanford-educated lawyer-turned-filmmaker Marcela grew up in Southern Arizona -- specifically Nogales and Tucson -- where her family has deep roots. She spent many years living in San Francisco and working in Hollywood as a writer and consultant to major film projects. She worked closely with storytellers of Latino/Latinx who were interested in exploring subject matter related to that community. Recently, she and her wife left California and moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin to be closer to family. As a managing partner in TomKat Media, Marcella remains connected to the film industry. The two friends talk about hometowns, storytelling, the film and entertainment industry, the Western spirit, the media, California, Arizona, politics from the center-left, immigration, Mexican culture and the healing power of mariachi music.
