For our next series, we're headed to Mexico to cover our first revolutionary in a man named Pancho Villa. Born the son of a humble farmer, Pancho's life would take a sudden and harsh turn at the age of 16, transforming him from farmer to bandit. For nearly ten years, Pancho lived the violent life of a bandit and outlaw, but cries for revolution would become louder and louder under the tyrannical rule of dictator Porfirio Díaz. Eventually, Pancho would be tapped on the shoulder to join the cause of revolution, leading him to become one of the most recognized (and infamous) names in Mexican history. Join us for our tenth series as we cover our most controversial biography yet! (Ep. 051)
