Season 1 Episode 10 | 30s

In a quickly evolving state, a look at one’s roots can sometimes bring clarity and reinvention. In this episode, we explore an indigenous cultural site reinventing itself in the wake of natural disaster, a pair of chefs reintroducing traditional Mexican tortillas to the state, and a punk band with a turbulent history reuniting and reentering the spotlight.
